Wiertz Foundation
Guiding people who are distanced from the labor market towards employment. That is the mission of Wiertz Foundation, established on June 13, 2006. Wiertz Foundation initiates, stimulates, facilitates, and connects.
Towards an inclusive labor market
We are aware that finding a job is not a given for everyone. However, everyone deserves the opportunity to develop their talents among colleagues, achieve success, and grow. They should also have the chance to rely on their own income.
For those for whom finding a job is not straightforward, Wiertz Foundation aims to provide support. To this end, we are part of CSR Platforms, search for vacancies for our target groups, collaborate with municipalities, and place these groups directly into employment. We do this together with the professionals from Wiertz Company: people who are engaged daily in the world of people and work.
Our Approach
Guiding people who are distanced from the labor market towards employment requires extra support from the consultants at Wiertz Company. This includes thorough intake interviews, preparation for job interviews, and guidance during employment. It may also involve assessing any additional training needs and facilitating these. Additionally, offering job guarantees through a phase C agreement can be beneficial for the target groups.
Julian Freudenberg serves as the case manager for participation at Wiertz Company and is the link between Wiertz Foundation and the field. He guides the consultants who work daily throughout the region to achieve the goal: actually helping people with a distance to the labor market find a job. To this end, there are contacts with job seekers, employers, and governments.
The board members of Wiertz Foundation are ambassadors for the topic of labor market accessibility. They discuss the issue during periodic board meetings and monitor progress. The board of Wiertz Foundation consists of the following members: chairman Harm Wiertz, and board members Dionne Wiertz, Marcel Michiels, Ben Theeuwen, Jessie Vreuls and Julian Freudenberg.
