Project partner: wärchbrogg

Jobs for people with mental disabilities

Wärchbrogg in Lucerne supports people with mental disabilities in their everyday work. It offers them sheltered jobs in the areas of production, retail and gastronomy. The people concerned are supported by specialists. This enables them to gain valuable experience for the labor market and build up professional perspectives. The aim is to integrate them into the labor market in the long term. This also enables them to participate more easily in social, civic and political life.

Among other things, Wärchbrogg takes on assembly jobs and office work. Because of the longer, predominantly sedentary jobs, the employees need well-equipped workplaces that are conducive to good health. This includes height-adjustable tables and back-friendly work chairs. They also need sufficient modern work equipment, such as sewing machines, to be able to complete orders on time.
