Health plays an important role when (re)entering the workforce. Particularly after an illness, in the case of a disability or in view of the effects of a refugee experience, questions often arise about basic performance or earning capacity. It is also important to find suitable activities and occupations, working hours, retraining options and therapy concepts.
If possible, the Stuttgart Jobcenter will be happy to support you on your way into work or training - despite health restrictions.
Contact point for vocational rehabilitation
Do you have a physical, mental or emotional disability and need support to (re)enter the workforce? Or do you as an employer employ people with health restrictions and have questions about the topic of vocational rehabilitation?
