Job Factory Basel AG - Work project for the time after schooldays.

For many young people there’s a gap between school and the working world because they don’t find an apprenticeship training position or job straightaway. The Job Factory solves this problem by offering practical training that is professionally supervised. The target group is young people without a training position or work, or those who have dropped out of an apprenticeship. The youngsters are trained in a company which has the same standards as the open market. This way, from the word go, they have to produce the normal performance level and results the economy calls for. At the same time they are also given guidance to an extent that a competitive business enterprise can hardly afford. And this guidance is at the very core of the Job Factory’s work.
 
This supervision is guaranteed via the Foundation “Job Training” which also stays in close contact with external companies and enterprises to improve the chances of a later placement. The young people have half a day a week for job applications. A trainer gives them additional support in strengthening their personality and in finding job placements. This way contact can be made with potential employers and the young people are accompanied to their first meeting. The Auerbach Foundation sponsors a trainer’s position for a year, ensuring that the work in the placement of apprenticeships and jobs can be extensively concentrated.
 


About the Auerbach Foundation

The aim of the Auerbach Foundation is to provide help and support for people on a lasting basis.

To be able to grasp a situation we first have to understand it. And with this understanding we can, within the scope of our project funding, provide an impetus, and that is the first step in helping people to help themselves.

With its charitable and social donations the Auerbach Foundation minimises financial, spiritual, mental and physical hardship. It also seeks to create avenues for art, culture and science and, in doing so, to safeguard values, such as security and creativity.

In concrete terms this means:
  • Funding people:
    youth aid, aid for the old, aid for the disabled, development aid
  • Funding education and socialisation
  • Funding science and research
  • Funding art and culture
The Auerbach Foundation was founded in 2005 by the Avira GmbH partner, Tjark Auerbach and finances its projects from donations.

Anyone buying the software Avira AntiVir Premium or Avira Premium Security Suite in the Avira online shop, makes a contribution of five euros per product to the Foundation projects.

In 2008 a total of approximately € 800,000 will go to benefit social and cultural projects.
