Wiesbaden starts residential project: trainees will find their home!
In Wiesbaden, a remarkable pilot project was launched to help young trainees find affordable living space. Together with the city of Wiesbaden's apartment department, the housing association GWW has taken a new path to meet the requirements of trainees. The story of Jannik Faust, a 16-year-old prospective bus driver who can now realize his dreams in the Hessian state capital, is particularly interesting
Jannik originally comes from Kaiserslautern and decided early on to become a bus driver. At Eswe Verkehr, he now has the chance to put his passion into practice. "I not only learn to drive, but also how the control center and the workshop work," he explains. A particularly innovative training model stipulates that the trainees work for four days in a specialist office during their three -year training and continue to drive bus in an emergency.
affordable housing for trainees
Before Jannik moved into his new apartment, he had great difficulty finding suitable accommodation in Wiesbaden. He had to cancel a room in a shared apartment due to water damage. But the intensive search for an alternative had come to an end when he learned from the GWW pilot project. This project provides for living space for trainees in different sizes - from one up to four rooms - and at prices from 350 euros including ancillary costs. These prices are defined during the entire training period.
his new home, a cozy 30 square meter one-room apartment with a balcony, is located near the Schierstein harbor. "I am happy about the decision to move here," emphasizes Jannik. Compared to his previous life in a family five-person household, he now has the calm he needs to concentrate on his training. The renovation of his new home has met its demands: new kitchen, tiles and soils have made it easier for him.
Jannik notes that leading your own household also has a lot of effort. "I never thought it was so much work," he says with a laugh. Regular cleaning, washing and cooking is now on his to-do list. In order to better plan his everyday life, he thinks of buying a freezer in order not to have to eat dieselbes court several times a week.
rental contracts on the training companies
The rental agreement for Jannik's apartment does not run directly on it, but is concluded via Eswe Verkehr. This is part of the pilot project, which aims to give the companies the opportunity to pass on the apartments to new trainees or to give them back to the GWW. At the moment there are a maximum of 29 residential spaces for trainees, but the city desires to increase these numbers in the long term.
So far, Jannik has been the first and only trainee to benefit from this project, but the GWW plans further contracts. In October and November, two additional trainees could also join the project. The response to this project has so far been positive, but is partially criticized by the union, which warns a fairer award process.The pilot residential project is an important step to offer the young generation of specialists in Wiesbaden a stable basis so that they can pursue their professional dreams without having to worry about the living situation. Jannik feels comfortable in his new environment after a short time and even found new friends in the vocational school. "After the first week I thought: finally at home," he says enthusiastically.
