InA gGmbH

What InA gGmbH does

InA gGmbH – Integration in Arbeit is a non-profit limited liability company (gemeinnützige GmbH) and a 100% subsidiary of the Odenwaldkreis district in Hessen, Germany, headquartered in Erbach. The company's primary mandate is the labor market integration of welfare recipients assigned by the Kommunales Job-Center Odenwaldkreis, funded under German social code frameworks SGB II and SGB III, with co-funding from the Hessisches Ministerium für Arbeit, Integration, Jugend und Soziales and the European Social Fund Plus. As a non-profit municipal service provider, it operates a portfolio of more than ten distinct integration measures — including BuILD, MInA, Stand up, AiD, Perspektive, Quo Vadis, Potential, HaLLo+, and HoGa — addressing differentiated populations such as long-term unemployed, migrants and refugees (notably Ukrainians since 2022), and individuals requiring professional language acquisition. Beyond commissioned integration measures, InA is an AZAV-certified education provider (since 2026, extended to continuing education under §§ 179-181 SGB III) and runs the Service-Point coworking facility with 12 computers and Microsoft 365 access for participants.

The technical and operational architecture is anchored by the InA-Lernen digital learning portal and the teamw()rk für Gesundheit und Arbeit platform, mobile service delivery through a fully equipped InA-Van office that serves participants unable to attend in person, and complementary tools including VR glasses for trade-profession orientation, the Deutschfuchs language-learning platform, and the Seniorenwegweiser senior-care mobile app built with app-builder software. Integration with Microsoft 365 and Teams supports remote coaching and digital job-application workflows. The firm's employer-facing channels include quarterly speed-dating events (Job-Turbo/Chancen-Markt) that connect participants with regional employers spanning logistics, automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, and rail — Pirelli, Vias Rail, RESO, SLS Suedhessische Logistik, Dasenbrock, and Seniorenresidenz Landhaus Am Weinberg are documented participating employers. The mascot "GinO," developed by graphic designer Alfred Dieler, is used for brand representation across vehicles, flags, and a refugee orientation comic presented at the Federal Chancellery in September 2024. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through public-sector commissioning (managed-services contracts), government-funded education vouchers (Bildungsgutschein), and ESF Plus co-funding; the firm is non-listed, holds an AÜG temporary-work license, and is structurally a regional, single-district municipal subsidiary with no venture capital or external shareholders.
