Job coaching, application course

Job coaching supports people with a visual impairment in their search for a suitable job. The basis for this is the creation of a professional application dossier and individual application training. Job coaching proactively mediates between job seekers and potential employers and provides information on the effects of visual impairment, suitable aids and compensatory work techniques, as well as options for further support. Together with the other services provided by the Integration department, we aim to successfully and sustainably integrate our clients into the primary labor market.
