Greiz goes a new way: Obligation to work for asylum seekers starts 2024

New work opportunities for asylum seekers in the Greiz

The Greiz district is implementing a significant step to integrate asylum seekers on September 1, 2024. With the introduction of an obligation to work, which initially starts in a pilot project in the city of Greiz, a new concept for creating social participation and to support the municipal infrastructure is launched. In the long term, this could not only benefit the asylum seeker, but also to the entire community.

Implementation and Objectives of Labor Duty

The project that is supposed to start in the city of Greiz stipulates that 15 asylum seekers actively work at the construction and green space office. Your tasks will be varied: from improving the tourist infrastructure to renaturation projects to beautification work in leisure and local recreation areas. This commitment aims to upgrade the environment and at the same time give asylum seekers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with society.

Integration into the job market

District Administrator Dr. Ulli Schäfer emphasizes that the obligation to work should make an important contribution to the integration of asylum seekers into the labor market. At a time when numerous workers are sought, this initiative offers the opportunity to gain valuable experience during the asylum procedure. The district administrator notes: "Work is the best integration into society." This establishes a model that opens up new perspectives not only to the asylum seekers, but also the region.

challenges and legal framework conditions

Overall, the district currently houses around 550 asylum seekers, with around 250 of them being used to participate in these work measures. However, important restrictions exist: children, young people, unable to work and those who complete educational courses or an apprenticeship are excluded from the obligation. These provisions are necessary to maintain the rights of the vulnerable groups and ensure that no one is put under pressure that cannot or should not or should.

Meaning for the local community

With this project, a positive dynamic for the Greiz district could develop. Dr. Schäfer sees the introduction of the payment card for asylum seekers as a first signal of progress. The next step towards mandatory work for asylum seekers is a consistent expansion of this approach. In addition, he emphasizes the need for citizens to work in suitable cases in suitable cases in order to strengthen the entire community.

Cooperation partner in the project

The work measures are implemented in partnership with municipalities, churches and other non -profit organizations. Due to the de -bureaucratization and the provision of an expense allowance of 80 cents per hour, those involved should be relieved and motivated to offer their support. This initiative could not only make a valuable contribution to integration, but also promote cooperation within the community.
