“Everyone is very friendly, it’s great, thank you”-This is what applicants say who try on the Billa-Plus market in Ansfelden nowadays. As part of the week before admission, the food chain enables people with disabilities to get a foothold on the labor market.
There is a clear commitment within the company, positive words come from customers – and the reaction of applicants is also great! “It is a model model that Calls Imitators,” said Wednesday, councilor Christian Dörfel on the occasion of the Week of Inclusion, which will take place in the Billa Plus market in Ansfelden until Friday.
107 people with disabilities have registered for a pinch in the Rewe Group store. “Some stay only one day, others all week,” says Billa Sales Manager Michael Prutsch.
Dörfel reported great interest in the newly introduced inclusion subsidy. 40 companies would be ready to bring employees through this path. Eight employees already received a job on the first labor market: “33 are more on the leap.” The organizational effort is great, according to the politician.
“Companies must prepare employees for it”
The employment of people with disabilities has a very positive effect on the work atmosphere, was emphasized. “But the companies must prepare employees for this,” said Dörfel. The development of new potential groups, such as Claus Jungkunz of Con Tour GmbH, who is the operator of the Oberösterreich operator, is indispensable. “Diversity should finally arrive at the labor market,” emphasized Michaela Billinger, head of the Traun AMS office for Linz-Land.
In any case, the statistics clearly show that the number of job seekers with limitations is increasing. Of the job seekers in the Linz-Land district, which was recently recognized on the AMS 6468, had more than 1000 limitations, which is proven by a medical certificate.
