The Welcome Centers in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district are a structural development initiative designed to support talent retention and acquisition, managed by ABS Greifswald – Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft für Arbeitsförderung, Beschäftigung und Strukturentwicklung mbH.
Our goal is to help skilled workers and their families settle in and feel at home in their new location. Moving to a new place comes with many challenges: finding a new home, organizing the move, and navigating an unfamiliar environment. There are numerous tasks to handle, such as dealing with administrative procedures, finding a new dentist, or choosing a sports club or music school. When family members are involved, the challenges increase: finding a job for your partner, securing childcare spots, and more.
Our corporate partners are aware of these challenges and strive to make the transition for their employees as smooth as possible. They are committed to fostering a strong welcoming culture and actively promoting the work-life balance. We, as a project, aim to support and further develop this mindset.
The Welcome Centers offer personalized consultation services tailored to the specific needs of newcomers. At the same time, we assist local companies in their efforts to attract and retain employees.
The Welcome Centers Vorpommern-Greifswald serve as the central point of contact for newcomers from both Germany and abroad, as well as for regional businesses looking to recruit and retain new employees.
We would be happy to provide you with personalized advice!
