JOBLINGE

Our objective is to provide disadvantaged, unemployed youth with the opportunity to earn a long term placement in an apprenticeship or job and thus lead a self-determined life. Joblinge focuses on outcomes, aiming for fast but sustainable job placements. JOBLINGE, a six-month program with a placement rate of 70% percent is a faster, cheaper, and more scalable alternative than similar programs —and growing rapidly because of its success. To date, more than 9,000 underprivileged youths have participated in this program. In Germany, 500.000 youths do not find jobs or apprenticeship positions even though skilled workers are lacking and many positions go unfilled. JOBLINGE targets young people between the ages of 17 and 27 who are unlikely to find employment on their own.
