Workshops for disabled people


If, due to a significant disability, you are not, not yet or not yet again able to pursue an activity on the general labor market, workshops for disabled people offer you the possibility of participation in or integration into working life under certain conditions.

The state of Bremen pursues the goal of integration and normalization in the design of work and occupational opportunities for people with disabilities. Three workshops for disabled people are available in Bremen as vocational rehabilitation facilities for participation in and integration into working life. These workshops offer:

  • disabled people who, due to the nature and severity of their disability, are not, not yet, or not yet able to return to work in the general labor market, the opportunity to engage in appropriate activity
  • vocational measures in the vocational training area in combination with measures for the further development of the personality
  • the possibility to develop, increase or regain the individual performance capacity
  • a wage commensurate with the individual's ability to perform, which is usually covered by the social welfare agency.

Requirements

In order to be admitted to a workshop for disabled persons, the disabled person must be able to perform a minimum level of economically viable work. This is not the case if a person, despite care within the workshop, significantly endangers himself or others or if he requires care that does not permit an economically usable work performance.
