On May 16, 2011, Klaus Ingelmann, head of the U25 team at the Jobcenter Hildesheim and Ulf Trombach from PACE visited us. Together with Sabine Jäger, Social Services, we discussed Ingelmann’s proposal to use PACE’s Job Mobile in Stadtfeld.
The background to the idea is the highest density of children and young people in Stadtfeld compared to other districts in Hildesheim. Application assistance is intended to counteract any disadvantages these young people may face when looking for an apprenticeship or a job.
This consideration is justified, as the proportion of young people with a migration background in this district is very high and it is to be feared that this will hinder them in their job search. In addition, the initiative would signal to young people that they are not alone.
Thomas Brien, Managing Director of ADW, was certain that the initiative could be carried out very well in cooperation with the association “Gemeinwesenentwicklung Stadtfeld”, which was founded last year. Accordingly, a kick-off event is planned for the neighborhood in the near future.
