The Berufsbildungswerk im Oberlinhaus gGmbH (short form: Oberlin Berufsbildungswerk) is a vocational training center (BBW) that focuses on the training of adolescents and young adults with special needs and / or disabilities (with physical, learning, psychological and multiple disabilities as well as the spectrum of autism Disorder).
The Oberlin Vocational Training Center is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Potsdam Oberlinhaus association , which was named after the Alsatian pastor and social reformer Johann Friedrich Oberlin .
The Oberlin Vocational Training Center trains young people in 30 commercial and manual professions as well as professions in the service sector and maintains its own boarding schools in which the apprentices are looked after by appropriate specialist staff during their training. The aim is to support the young people on their way to a successful professional qualification so that they can then find a job on the primary labor market.
Overall, the Oberlin vocational training center has boarding school places for almost 400 trainees. During their time at the Oberlin Vocational Training Center, they are accompanied by educators, curative educators and social workers. The aims of the educational work are to support the young people during their training at the Oberlin Vocational Training Center with individual measures and a variety of aids, to promote their practical skills and social skills and to strengthen them in achieving the greatest possible independence.
There are six boarding schools, five of them on the site in Potsdam-Babelsberg and one in Kleinmachnow , a place near Potsdam. In the boarding schools, the young people live in single and double rooms. Eight young people each form a living group and have their own kitchen and common rooms for recreational activities.
