"Job Action Project"

In September, the number of participants in the project was thirteen young people, meaning two spots are still available.
A new participant started working with us in September.

In September, the participants crafted two large wooden boxes for the Einselthum kindergarten. They also built benches for the Gutenberg School in Göllheim. For this project, they peeled solid logs, sanded them, and assembled the individual elements.

In the last weeks of September, initial preparations were made for the open day on October 9, 2025. As part of the class, the participants created posters about their completed work. Here, they collectively reflected on the process of their work, from setting up the workstation with the necessary materials, to safety aspects, and the individual work steps.

As part of the socio-educational support, target agreements were reviewed and support plans updated. Furthermore, individual application training was provided and internship placements were acquired.

Training sessions on labor law, waste separation, and a practical session on illegally dumped waste and its disposal, Europe and Me, and financial and healthy living were also held in September, with the modules occupational health and safety, and keeping a household diary.

We also visited the training fair in Eisenberg on September 25, 2025. Participants took the opportunity to learn about the various careers and companies.

Individual, situation-specific consultations were conducted with participants, based on their needs, in collaboration with the Youth Welfare Office, Job Center supervisors, the Social Welfare Office, and other network partners.
The German course continued.

On September 23, 2025, we visited two former participants at their apprenticeships at BorgWorner in Kirchheimbolanden. Thanks to the JobAction project, they were able to begin apprenticeships as machine and plant operators and as cutting machine operators in August after completing an internship. BorgWorner also informed us that they still have positions available for the coming training year.

Newsletter August `25

"Job Action Project"

In August, the number of participants in the project was twelve young people, meaning there are still three places vacant.

We said goodbye to three participants. One dropped out due to starting a language course/language school, and two dropped out due to health reasons. However, we welcomed four new participants.

After the initial interviews, safety briefings took place and the young people were introduced to the project.

In August, our work focused on maintaining green spaces. Since the kindergartens and schools were still on summer break, hedges were trimmed and lawns mowed.

Additional benches were picked up from the Ritten kindergarten, sanded, filled, and given two coats of varnish. Benches and loungers were also made.

As part of the socio-educational support, final and initial interviews, as well as a situation analysis, took place with the new participants. As part of the support planning, the agreed objectives were reviewed, updated, and new ones established.

Situation-specific individual consultations with participants, needs-oriented in cooperation with the Youth Welfare Office, Job Center supervisors, Social Welfare Office and other network partners were carried out.

The German course was continued.

Newsletter June / July `25

"Job Action Project"

In the summer months of June and July, the number of participants in the project was twelve young people, so there are still three places vacant. We welcomed six new participants to the project between June and July. A total of three participants left the project in July: one due to relocation, one due to illness, and another due to starting an apprenticeship.

After the initial interviews, safety briefings took place and the young people were introduced to the project.

Kindergarten Ritten:

At the Ritten kindergarten, additional outdoor benches were refurbished in the workshop.
The team also renovated the "Dwarf House" (a wooden playhouse) on site. First, all the wooden elements were sanded, the roof was given a red coat, and the remaining wooden elements were painted clear.

Another focus of work was the construction of the bicycle shelter. For this, the ground was leveled, the metal frame was concreted into the ground, the curbs were installed, and the gravel was spread. The paving work was completed in July, and the overhang is now complete. The team sanded down and painted the outdoor mud kitchen, and the stovetops were rebuilt and integrated into the kitchen. The project was handed over to the kindergarten in July.

Inside, the first benches in the children's cloakroom were dismantled and sanded in our workshop. After repainting, they will be delivered back to the kindergarten.

Kindergarten Louhans:

For the fence in the area of the green seating circle, the posts were set and the fence elements were attached.

As part of the socio-educational support, the initial interviews with the new participants and the definition of the first target agreements took place within the framework of the support planning.

On June 5, 2025, we conducted an in-depth training session on labor law. The focus was on conveying the rights and responsibilities of apprenticeships and the basics of labor law—deadlines, vacation entitlements, and part-time and full-time employment.
Another social-educational session took place on June 11, 2025. We took all participants on a city tour of Rockenhausen to familiarize themselves with the most important facilities, such as the job center, the municipal administration, the hospital, and counseling centers. Following this, we visited the Falkenstein Castle ruins.

This year, we once again participated in the Kaiserslautern Training Fair at Betzenberg. Participants once again had the opportunity to connect with many potential employers.

The German course was continued.

"Job Action Project"

At the end of May, the number of participants in the project was eight young people, leaving seven places vacant.

One participant is still scheduled to join the project after recovery.

In the month of May, we worked on the following project work.

Ritten Kindergarten:
The participants sanded a cupboard, replaced the drawer handles, and then painted it twice with white wood varnish.

Additional benches were also picked up from the kindergarten, dismantled in the workshop, and the individual wooden slats were sanded, painted with pine stain, and reassembled.

Finally, the team dismantled the mud kitchen for its upcoming restoration.

Louhans Kindergarten:
We are creating a "green seating circle" for the children. To make the stools, tree trunks were peeled, sawn into equal-sized pieces, and sanded smooth.

The kindergarten's outdoor area was mowed, and the hedges and shrubs were trimmed.

Furthermore, the wooden staircase, which was begun in April, was completed and installed as access to the play area in the kindergarten group.

As part of the socio-educational support, support plan discussions were also held this month to jointly review and adjust the goal formulations in the support plan processes. Furthermore, applications were processed individually with the participants, and a further safety inspection was conducted to refresh their knowledge and review the safety standards within the framework of occupational health and safety.

The German course continued.
