The social project has already helped an employee of the “VerWeilheim” café to find a job on the free labor market.
Now another employee - young and formerly homeless - should benefit from him.
From the special snack sale in the employment agency in Weilheim.
Weilheim
– An employment agency is expected to support people who want to find a suitable job.
Something special, however, is a project that runs directly in the agency building in Weilheim: a snack sale in which employees of the "VerWeilheim" café are used who have a need for support in the "work" area.
Sandwiches, pretzels with spreads, cakes: everything is already prepared when the first customers come to the sales room in the basement of the agency on a Thursday morning, where the project is being presented to the local newspaper.
The sale is overseen by an employee who was homeless and is now being brought back into the world of work, and by her work supervisor, Daniela Daum.

The formerly homeless young woman is still new to the “VerWeilheim” café based on Herzog-Christoph-Strasse in the district town.
She works six hours a day, three days a week – and part of that time selling snacks in the agency on Karwendelstrasse.
She does not wish to be named.
However, she takes part in the press conference and says that she likes her new job.
Gained a lot of self-confidence when selling snacks
Another - now former - employee of the café has already helped the work in the employment agency to jump onto the open job market.
That explains Felix Rexer, managing director of the non-profit “i+s Pfaffenwinkel GmbH”, to which the “VerWeilheim” café belongs.
The former employee gained a lot of self-confidence when selling snacks.
After an internship at another company, she was then taken on by this company.
project is a win-win situation
For “i+s Pfaffenwinkel GmbH”, which belongs to Diakonie Herzogsägmühle, and for the employment agency, it is a win-win situation that there is a snack sale.
While the non-profit company there can offer employees the opportunity to learn a task, the agency employees enjoy a supply.
This is "an absolute win," says agency boss Markus Nitsch.
Every Wednesday there is also Leberkässemmel
The “VerWeilheim” café offers its employees not only snacks, but also freshly prepared lunches, which are brought to Karwendelstraße on request.
As "i+s Pfaffenwinkel" Managing Director Rexer says, there are considerations to also offer lunch deliveries through the canteen kitchen in Herzogsägmühle in the future.
In this context, he points out that services for industry (e.g. in the “packaging” area) are also part of Herzogsägmühle’s range of services.
The snack sale in the employment agency runs from Tuesday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.
On Wednesdays, bread rolls with warm meat loaf are also part of the range.
With the offer of the "VerWeilheim" café, a gap has been closed, explains agency spokeswoman Kathrin Grabmaier.
Because after a bakery stopped selling in the agency, there were no longer any supply options for the employees on site.
Sitting at the spring-decorated table, Grabmaier emphasizes that the salesroom is always attractively designed by the “VerWeilheim” café.

Despite the pandemic, the snack shop has been open continuously since it was introduced almost a year and a half ago.
So it was maintained even in times when more employees were working from home than is currently the case.
