Azubiwerk Foundation
The non-profit Azubiwerk Foundation creates affordable housing and also offers educational support as well as target group-specific, low-threshold counselling and support services for trainees - true to the motto: "More than just affordable housing for trainees".
It is hardly possible for young people in vocational training to live close to their place of training. Particularly in conurbations where large cities are growing together, such as in the Rhine-Main region, the Rhineland or the Ruhr area, affordable housing is hardly available. Attractive cities such as Berlin, Munich or Hamburg are increasingly becoming unaffordable for young people in training. In addition, trainees are also at a disadvantage on the housing market compared to students due to their low income and age. This is in stark contrast to the mobility required on the labour market. Trainees often have to travel long distances to the training centre or vocational school or are forced to live well beyond their means. Particularly in view of the shortage of skilled labour, offers must be created that allow more flexibility on the training market. It is even more difficult for applicants from abroad to start a training programme in a major German city.
Das Azubiwerk ermöglicht BerufsanfängerInnen ihre Ausbildungsorte und Berufsschulen nicht nur besser zu erreichen, sondern unterstützt sie dabei, sich schneller in ihrem neuen Wohn- und Arbeitsumfeld zu integrieren. Die Förderung von Stabilität und Struktur kommt dabei auch dem Ausbildungserfolg zugute. Der Einzug in unsere Wohnhäuser bedeutet für alle Auszubildende einen Neuanfang: eine neue Stadt, die erste eigene Wohnung und ein komplett neues Umfeld. Die Azubis leben in kleinen Wohngruppen, von zweier bis vierer WGs. In jedem Wohnhaus werden in großzügigen Gemeinschaftsräumen soziale Aktivitäten angeboten. Hier werden Beratungsangebote in Kooperation mit den Sozialpartnern z.B. zur Berufsausbildungsbeihilfe, Themengruppen, Sport- und Spielveranstaltungen oder gemeinsames Kochen für die Azubis organisiert. So wird aus einem Wohnhaus bald ein richtiges Zuhause und die Ausbildung kann erfolgreich absolviert werden.
Deshalb betreibt die Stiftung Azubiwerk seit 2016 eine Wohnanlage für 156 Auszubildende in Hamburg-Wandsbek. Anfang 2020 wurde ein zweites Wohnhaus der Stiftung in Hamburg-Harburg mit 191 Plätzen fertiggestellt, das dritte Wohnhaus mit 209 Plätzen im Münzviertel (Hamburg-Mitte) wurde 2022 fertiggestellt und unser viertes Wohnhaus in Hamburg-Altona wird dieses Jahr fertiggestellt. Weitere Wohnanlagen sind in Planung.
Together with many sponsors, politicians, social partners, chambers and associations, as well as companies, we want to offer even more trainees a home and support in the future. In this way, we are doing our part to further increase the attractiveness of vocational training in Germany.

CORPORATE CO-OPERATIONS
More and more companies are struggling with recruitment problems. The housing shortage in many metropolises is increasingly becoming a criterion for not starting an apprenticeship there. In addition, there are more and more challenges that trainees have to face during their training. We therefore not only offer affordable housing, but also the support that young people may need during their training.
Our pedagogical team supports the trainees on their way to an independent life under the premise of "accompanying instead of supervising". This gives them more time to concentrate on their training.
The educational team is on site 7 days a week. Funding is provided in part by tax-deductible donations from the Azubiwerk support group. As a member of the sponsoring organisation, you can support the Azubiwerk Foundation financially on a monthly basis and thus make a contribution to improving the social situation of trainees. Becoming a member of the support group is easy: simply send an enquiry via the Contact form . Membership can be cancelled on a monthly basis. You will receive an annual donation receipt for the contributions paid in accordance with §50 Para. 1 EStDV. You can then claim the donations in your tax return.
The Stiftung Auszubildendenwerk is recognised as a non-profit organisation in the area of youth welfare by the Hamburg North Tax Office under tax number 17/415/02190 in accordance with Section 52 (2) sentence 1 no. (n) 4 AO.
Our offer is finding more and more supporters. Companies benefit from the low-cost accommodation on site, as this allows them to recruit applicants regardless of where they live. As part of a co-operation with Azubiwerk, training companies can work with us to improve the social situation of trainees and further increase the attractiveness of vocational training.
