A project that builds opportunities
The BEA (Betriebliche Eingliederung und Arbeitsassistenz) project supports people with disabilities in their transition from school to working life. With individual support, internships and targeted support, BEA helps to break down barriers and create career prospects. The focus is on strengthening independence and social participation.
During their visit to the project's new premises, the doubleSlash employees were given an insight into the diverse measures and successes of the program. The participants spoke openly about their experiences and challenges. The presentations by two schoolgirls, who proudly and enthusiastically talked about their internships, were particularly moving. In keeping with the Christmas season, the guests were welcomed with gingerbread, which underlined the warm atmosphere of the visit.
"We were deeply touched by the openness and warmth with which the participants welcomed us," says Lena Sieber, Marketing Manager at doubleSlash. "It was inspiring to see how BEA helps people to discover their strengths and successfully take their first steps into professional life."
A big thank you from BEA
Arndt Götzfried, Head of Day Structure at BEA, expressed his sincere thanks for the support: "The generous donation from doubleSlash means a great deal to us. It enables us to continue to support our clients on their path to an independent professional life—be it through training days, individual counseling or support during internships. It was particularly nice to meet the doubleSlash employees in person and show them what we achieve here together with our participants. The young people were incredibly happy to be able to share their experiences and we would like to thank doubleSlash from the bottom of our hearts for their appreciation and commitment."
Showing responsibility and shaping the future
With the donation, doubleSlash wants to help ensure that the BEA project continues to support people on their way into working life. "It is important to us to help exactly where it matters," explains Lisa Müller. "The BEA project impressively demonstrates how important targeted support is in order to develop individual potential and create opportunities."
