Sprungbrett Dienstleistungen GGmbH

What Sprungbrett Dienstleistungen GGmbH does

Sprungbrett Dienstleistungen gGmbH (SDL) is a non-profit social enterprise founded in 2001 and headquartered in Hamburg-Bergedorf, Germany. The company operates an integrated portfolio of labor-market integration, vocational preparation, and social-services programs commissioned by jobcenter.team.arbeit.hamburg, the Bundesagentur f\u00fcr Arbeit, the Hamburg education and economy authorities (BSFB, BWAI), and the European Union. Its flagship is the Produktionsschulzentrum Hamburg (PZH), a 1,400 sqm campus operating up to 120 school places across seven real workshops (hair styling, carpentry, printing & bookbinding, media design, interior decoration, bike & 3D-Lab, and home economics) where youth without school-leaving qualifications produce goods for actual customers while preparing for ESA exams. The company also operates the Sozialkaufhaus Bergedorf with M\u00f6belBergedorf (1,000 sqm furniture resale) and Kleiderkammer (donated clothing), a M\u00f6belBergedorf moving/decluttering service, 50 Arbeitsgelegenheit (AGH/Ein-Euro-Job) positions, Alltagsbegleitung (everyday companionship employing 15 trained companions), Gr\u00fcnpflege Bergedorf (15 staff maintaining public parks), a Coaching & Bewerbungscenter, and the plietsch und clever upcycling online shop.

SDL has a small core staff of 8 employees but orchestrates a much larger workforce of approximately 150\u2013200 participants across training, AGH placements, and supported-employment roles. Its sole subsidiary, FIT gGmbH (established 2016), extends Hamburg-wide commercial-sector employment placements beyond the Bergedorf catchment. The revenue model is overwhelmingly government-contracted (\u00a716k SGB II, AVGS vouchers, BSFB/BWAI commissioning, EU project funding), with minor self-pay streams including individual coaching at EUR 60/hour plus VAT, subsidized Alltagsbegleitung at EUR 6/hour, and social retail/transactions at M\u00f6belBergedorf. Customers are almost exclusively referred via institutional channels (Jobcenter, Agentur f\u00fcr Arbeit, Hamburg authorities), with no outbound sales motion or paid marketing.

The business's technical assets are modest: proprietary Selbstlernhefte (self-learning booklets with QR-coded digital extensions), a 3D-printing-enabled bike workshop, and in-house printing and digital media capabilities. Distribution is hybrid: government-referred program enrollment for training and coaching, alongside physical retail (M\u00f6belBergedorf, Kleiderkammer) for low-income walk-in customers holding a Kundenkarte. The 2023 consolidation into the new Zentrum f\u00fcr Besch\u00e4ftigung und Qualifizierung (ZBQ) at Osterrade 1 reflects operational scaling, but the company remains a regionally anchored, commissioned non-profit without a scalable for-profit revenue layer.
