What makes us special
JOBLINGE’s goal is to place young people effectively and sustainably in the primary labor market. We allow ourselves to be measured by the success of our placement. After all, it is still not common to work with transparent key figures in the transition from school to work. The JOBLINGE approach combines the social commitment of a non-profit organization with the effectiveness and start-up principles of our founders. As a social entrepreneur, we are committed to maximum transparency in our work.
To ensure this transparency throughout Germany, we work according to a social franchise system in which regions are established as independent non-profit stock corporations by regional commercial enterprises in the position of founding shareholders, and implement the JOBLINGE concept based on regional challenges.

Full amortization is achieved after just under four years.
After ten years, there are total savings of almost 140,000 euros for each young person placed in a sustainable position.
Practice from day one

Entrepreneurial approach
Measurable goals, the gAG as an entrepreneurial framework, transparency (social reporting standard), social franchise for scalability
1:1 support from mentors
A key element of the JOBLINGE concept is the win-win idea for everyone involved.

Mentors build up a personal relationship, act as role models and receive professional preparation and support.
Some partner companies have included voluntary mentoring in their personnel development programs.
