Integra gGmbH

What Integra gGmbH does

Integra gGmbH is a German non-profit limited liability company (gemeinnützige GmbH) headquartered in Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, operating across three offices in Lübeck, Eutin, and Oldenburg in Holstein with approximately 40 staff. The organization is officially commissioned by the Integrationsamt Schleswig-Holstein to deliver the Integrationsfachdienst (IFD) under Social Code Book IX (SGB IX) for the Lübeck and Ostholstein region, and additionally operates on behalf of the Agentur für Arbeit, Jobcenter, and various Rehabilitationsträger.

Its core product portfolio centers on vocational integration services for people with disabilities or significant health impairments, including career orientation, job search support, workplace retention, school-to-work transition (HK STEP), supported employment measures (InbeQ, UB II, Übergang WfbM), and coaching programs (Coaching plus Praxis, GCfB, StabCo). Employer-facing services include the Einheitliche Ansprechstellen für Arbeitgeber (EAA Süd-Ost and Süd-West) and the Budgetkompetenz initiative on Budget für Arbeit / Budget für Ausbildung. Specialized offerings include TalentPASS (BMAS-funded competency recognition project), Fallmanagement in Schleswig-Holstein/Hamburg (Deutsche Rentenversicherung), and sign language consultation (DGS). All services are delivered free of charge to clients and employers.

The business model is a managed-services, publicly commissioned structure with no direct fees; revenue derives from multi-year commissioning contracts with government agencies. The sole shareholder since January 1, 2025 is DIE BRÜCKE Lübeck und Ostholstein gGmbH. The underlying technology stack is minimal — services rely on consulting, coaching, case management, and job-matching methodologies rather than proprietary platforms, with digital channels limited to a content website, downloadable flyers, contact forms, and Signal-based video consultation for sign language users.
