📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH – Innovation Centre “European Projects” is an institution of the Steinbeis-Foundation which was founded by the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg based on a concept first developed by its patron Ferdinand von Steinbeis (1807-1893). Ferdinand von Steinbeis set up a variety of vocational colleges in Baden-Württemberg aimed at fostering dual educational and vocational training for young people.
Today the Steinbeis network provides a wide range of services (see our website www.stw.de) and in 1998 the Steinbeis University Berlin was founded providing in its Institutes transfer-oriented research as well as competence-oriented training and employee development.

Within the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) Program the Steinbeis Innovation gGmbH is accredited as a coordinating and supporting organisation (OID: E10206422), for hosting volunteers it co-operates with several institutions of the german social and health care system, e.g. public utility institutions for education aid, Child care institutions, State Schools for Visually Impaired and Hard of Hearing, rehabilitation centers for people with acute mental disabilities or disorder, Sheltered Workshops for the Disabled, Residential Homes for the Elderly etc., Family Recreation Centers, etc.

Our main target group for volunteering projects are young people with less opportunities in terms of education (i.e. without academic degrees [Bachelor/Master] even without universiy entrance qualification), who are interested to start after the voluntary service a vocational training in Germany in the dual education system.

💼 What the programme involves

The Steinbeis Innovation Centre "European Projects" is accredited as a coordinating and sending organisation within the ESC-program, for hosting volunteers we are cooperating with several organisations of the german social and health care system. Volunteering in health and social care facilities offers young people an orientation and a preparation for a vocational training in the field of nursing. We have still some vacancies in projects for elderly and/or disabled people starting in October 2025 or later. The projects are located in the southwestern part of Germany, close to the border to France and Switzerland. Not sure which career really suits you? Discover your strengths, gain practical experience and make a difference - with ESC voluntary service! Whether in organisations for social or health care: here you can try out what suits you and do something good at the same time. In general we prefer candidates without academic degrees (Bachelor/Master), not studying at a university.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers are given a single room in a shared flat together with other volunteers. On workdays volunteers are expected to take part in the communal catering in the workshop, for days off they receive a meal allowance. ESC volunteers receive a D-Ticket, which allows them to travel easily and flexibly throughout Germany - whether by bus, train or S-Bahn! It is valid for all local transport, from their home town to the coolest cities, festivals or to visit friends across the country (not valid in high speed trains like IC/ICE/EC!).

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers are obliged to participate in the official training cycle offered by the National Agency. Apart from that the coordination organisation organises an internal introductory seminar where they meet other volunteers from projects in the region. Volunteers can participate in internal job development activities at the institution. The coordinating organisation provides a continuous language training for volunteers; the main purpose of which is to understand everyday talk. They will also learn technical vocabulary for their volunteer duties in this institution.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteers should be interested in working in the social and health care sector and be open to working with elderly and/or disabled people and people at risk of exclusion. Volunteers should be able to develop and plan activities on their own initiative, but also be able to contribute innovatively and collaborate within the team. A basic knowledge of German would be helpful and a willingness to learn German is expected. A class B driver's license would be helpful We expect a long term participation (min. 10 months) because the persons cared for in a sheltered workshop need stable personal relationships, therefore it's not possible to change the volunteers frequently.
Deadline: No application deadline

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
