Learco AG

What Learco AG does

Learco AG is a non-profit Aktiengesellschaft (stock corporation) headquartered in Bahnhofstrasse 86, Aarau, Switzerland, founded in 2019 by four established disability foundations — arwo Stiftung (Wettingen/Fislisbach), Stiftung Domino (Hausen/Windisch), Stiftung Lebenshilfe (Reinach/Menziken/Dürrenäsch), and Stiftung Orte zum Leben (OZL, Lenzburg/Oberentfelden/Aarau). The organization serves as the coordination and case-management hub for the consortium, managing contracting, reporting, and quality assurance with the Swiss Invalidenversicherung (IV) on behalf of all partner foundations. Its core service lines are Arbeitsintegration (job integration and placement), Berufliche Bildung (vocational education at PrA, EBA, and EFZ levels), Jobcoaching (individual career coaching), and Wohnbegleitung (ambulatory housing support for IV pension recipients).

Operationally, Learco AG delivers services directly to individuals with disabilities and support needs referred through institutional pathways, principally the IV, the Departement Bildung Kultur und Sport (BKS), RAV (regional employment centers), and the Migrationsamt (for MIKA assessments). The placement infrastructure is supplied by the four founding foundations and additional partners such as Obere Mühle Villmergen, together offering access to roughly 15 occupational fields across 30+ locations. Revenue is generated through negotiated contracts with Swiss social insurance and cantonal education bodies rather than direct client fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The underlying operational technology is a case management and reporting system for coordinating client journeys and institutional reporting, certified to the SODK+Ost:2023 quality standard.

Learco AG does not disclose revenue, funding, or headcount in standardized financial terms; firmographic data indicates approximately 16 employees at the coordinating entity, while the public team page lists 36+ named members including coaches, apprentices, and administrative staff. The organization maintains offices in Aarau (headquarters), Brugg, Lenzburg/Staufen, and Menziken, serving the Canton of Aargau and adjacent areas of Northern Switzerland. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors (Verwaltungsrat) chaired by Philippe Crameri, with leadership including Managing Director Simone Silbereisen and heads of HR/Administration, Ambulatory Services, and Labor Market Integration. As a non-profit AG, Learco AG reinvests any surplus into its social mission and operates without external equity investors.
