Integrationswerkstätten Oberschwaben Arbeit und Beschäftigung
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Werkstatt für behinderte Menschen (WfbM) (Workshop for Disabled People) is a part of the Integrationswerkstätten Oberschwaben GmbH (IWO). It offers very good integration and support of people with mental (mind), physical (body) and severe multiple disabilities. The institution offers varied and challenging group work opportunities and individual care and therapy activities. These are structured daily.
The structure of the facilities is very good and there is disabled-friendly work equipment. Our disabled workers receive many benefits, for example: the participation in work and community life, rehabilitation, personal and employment development, self-determination and independence. Physically, mentally or severely disabled people can find meaningful work in our workshop. Work is an important purpose of life. This is why we offer over 400 job spaces for people with disabilities at our Workshop for Disabled People
