Projektfabrik

Mission:
Noting that existing youth unemployment programs on average result in a job placement rate of lower than 20%, “Projektfabrik” (project factory) takes a different approach by drawing unemployed youth into a ten-month program that uses performing arts to teach vital job-seeking and professional skills. It is therefore instilling self-confidence and self-worth in long-term unemployed youth and changing public perceptions of youth living on state welfare.
