New paths, new opportunities:

Success stories from the BIWAQ project

The BIWAQ project in Schwäbisch Gmünd accompanies people on their way (back) into the job market - with heart, mind and a clear goal: to create new career prospects that suit individual life situations and strengths.

The stories of the participants show that this path is not always easy. And their successes prove that it is nevertheless worthwhile.

Back in the industry of your choice

After a long and often frustrating job search, one participant in the project finally found his way back into his dream industry - the catering trade. Thanks to individual advice and practical support from BIWAQ, he was able to start working as a kitchen assistant in a renowned restaurant in Schwäbisch Gmünd.

Work and family in harmony

Another participant - a mother of three children - faced the challenge of reconciling family and career. Through BIWAQ, she found a job in the production department of a local textile company. The job is not only varied, but is also easy to combine with everyday family life.

Shaping the future

A young man from Ukraine searched in vain for an apprenticeship after leaving school. Through BIWAQ, he was able to work out his interests and strengths - and finally found an apprenticeship as a surface coater at a well-known company in Schwäbisch Gmünd. This has given him a new perspective on life.

A new start for a single mother

A Ukrainian lawyer who came to Germany as a single mother with her children was about to start a new career. As she was unable to pursue the profession she had learned here, it quickly became clear that she would do an apprenticeship. After lengthy orientation and support in the BIWAQ project, she decided on the social sector. Since September, she has been training as a nursery school teacher in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
