Description

The Berufsförderungswerk Hamburg, an organisation owned by the city of hamburg and designed to help disabled people reintegrate into the labour market, will cut 50 % of its workforce. Public entities have cut back their budgets for rehabilitation, hence the Berufsförderungswerk's turnover has shrunk dramatically in recent years, making the job losses inevitable.
