The charitable employment project gugging project now employs long-term unemployed individuals who have special needs or have had a personal crisis, including those with chronic mental illness, limited intellectual disabilities and/or physical disabilities.In a manner appropriate to their individual conditions, participants in the project are trained to assist in the area of art and culture.

The broad palette of activities provided in the field of working at a cultural institution offers participants in the project the chance to gather experience, utilize existing abilities and develop new ones. In this context, employment, qualification and personal development go hand in hand with the goal of improving people’s individual living conditions and providing them with the best possible support on what may be their path to a long-term position.

Gugging project offers a total of six age- and ability-appropriate transitional positions, each of which is limited to one year. 

Our work is done on behalf of the Arbeitsmarktservice NÖ (AMS; Lower Austrian labor-market service) and the State of Lower Austria.
