From the street to the workshop: Benjamin Voß finds a new way of life!

The career of a young man named Benjamin Voß impressively shows how change is possible, even according to challenging living conditions. He has already overcome many hurdles at the age of 22 and is now a metal construction helper at the Neubrandenburg company "Metallbau Böttcher". His story is a remarkable narrative of self -discovery and new courage to live.

Benjamin grew up in a difficult environment and already experienced violence in the family in his childhood. The situation led him to be perceived as aggressive, which finally led to his life in a foster family and later in a psychiatric institution. These early experiences influenced him strongly because he was often involved in fights and had difficulty showing the right behavior. At the age of 16 he came into contact with drugs for the first time and stayed without a secondary school.

turn through partnership

The crucial turn for Benjamin came when he met his partner, with whom he is now married and has two children. "My wife only put me on the right track again," he says, describing how the family gave him stability and a new perspective. Thanks to this support, he began to think seriously about his professional future and make the decision to change his life.

Together with specialists from the job center, a plan was developed on how to build his professional skills. This included participation in a special course for long -term unemployed people, where he was also given the opportunity to do an internship at "Metallbau Böttcher". This experience made it clear that he likes the work in the metal industry and has a real chance of developing here.

Benjamin finally received a temporary employment contract that was later extended. Now he has the option of starting training in September 2025 or working indefinitely as a metal construction helper. His challenges seemed to be overcome and he finds the new financial independence as a big step forward.

The journey of Benjamin Voß is a strong example of how individual support and commitment can help to change life paths positively. Today he looks optimistically into the future and seriously thinks of growing in his professional field without being dependent on the help of the job center.
