[DeepL:] The premises of the work promotion area have, except for one location, a relation to the different living areas of our association, because they are located on the same properties. For many years, the Afb has been open not only to people living at GIB e. V., but also to 'outsiders" within the framework of individual agreements, or the BFB standard rates. Financing is usually provided by the integration assistance SGB XII. A total of 64 places are available.
We are committed to ensuring that every person, regardless of the type and severity of their disability, can participate in meaningful and goal-oriented employment that is appropriate for them.
Individually tailored for each employee, the Afb offers up to 40 hours per week. The core hours are Monday to Friday from 9 am to 3 pm. In order to optimally support the employees in their development, individual aids are used which are adapted and developed according to the abilities. They compensate for limitations in the cognitive and motor areas, making them more independent and satisfied.
The aim of our work is to provide orientation, to develop or maintain abilities and skills, and to slow down the process of deterioration. Employment in the Afb is an important spatial and content-related change in addition to life in the residential group or family. A second milieu is part of normality, counteracts isolation and offers the chance to develop further skills.
