Zukunftsbau is a non-profit-making limited company that has made it its job to give disadvantaged youths and young people a chance to receive vocational training in order to ensure long-term social integration. As a company functioning orientated around current working practice, Zukunftsbau deals with the occupational fields of construction, metal construction, cleaning service, administration, gastronomy as well as IT and media.
At Zukunftsbau, training and qualification are integrated into social housing, urban redevelopment and district management projects.
