co-labor is actively committed to the integration and reintegration of individuals who are distanced from the job market or facing precarious situations.Through structured pathways combining real-work experience, practical training, and socio-educational support, we promote autonomy, skill development, and sustainable (re)integration into active professional life.This mission is made possible thanks to the support of several public partners who assist us in implementing concrete and inclusive actions.
Cooperation with the Ministry of Labour
In partnership with the Employment Development Agency (ADEM), co-labor welcomes and integrates job seekers into its activities
Professional experience, training, and psychosocial support form the key triad to ensure high-quality support for job seekers and to enhance their prospects for entering the labour market.
Cooperation with the Ministry of Family Affairs, Solidarity, Living Together and Reception
In partnership with the National Office for Social Inclusion (ONIS), referrals to various Co-labor activities are made possible through Luxembourg’s social offices, with the aim to :
• Acquire professional and social skills in order to enhance employability under conditions that are less demanding than those of the primary labour market
• Assess individual potential and employment opportunities (as part of the pilot project “Orientation and Assessment Service”).
Cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Social Security
In partnership with MISA, Co-labor runs a therapeutic fruit workshop located in Remerschen.
This therapeutic project is aimed at individuals covered by the so-called “REVIS” law, particularly those suffering from anxiety disorders or post-traumatic stress.
Rather than being excluded from the world of work or placed on long-term disability, these individuals receive ongoing support to help them regain autonomy and lasting well-being. The project offers a personalised rehabilitation pathway within a caring and supportive working environment.
2000m² Project: IBLA, natur&ëmwelt, Ministry of the Environment
Near the Maison de la Nature in Kockelscheuer, just a short distance from Luxembourg City, a 2000 m² plot of land has been transformed into an agricultural field.
This project is a collaboration between IBLA a.s.b.l. (Institut fir Biologësch Landwirtschaft an Agrarkultur), natur&ëmwelt a.s.b.l., and co-labor s.c., with financial support from the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development.
The project partners cultivate the land together and organise various events to engage the public. The 2000m² Project field is farmed organically and symbolically reflects Luxembourg’s share on a global scale: 2000 m² (half used for agriculture and the other half as permanent grassland) represents the surface area available per inhabitant of Luxembourg.
It is important to note that people’s eating habits have a significant impact—not only on human health, but also on soil, air, and water. In 2024, Co-labor continued its collaboration with the project.
Oeuvre Nation ale de Secours Grande Duchesse Charlotte
Among our partners, the Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte has played a key role by supporting Co-labor through various projects:
- The GAÏA Educational Garden
The Co-labor GAÏA Educational Garden was established in the final months of 2021 and was officially launched in mid-June 2022. The project was supported by the Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte. Today, around ten different topics—each related to the environment, human beings, and their interconnectedness—are explored through a variety of workshops held throughout the seasons.
Extension of the Grenge-Kuerf Käerjeng Project:
As a producer of organic fruits and vegetables within a social framework, we are constantly seeking new ways to improve product quality and better accommodate reintegration staff. In 2023, Co-labor2 asbl, in collaboration with the Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte, proposed an extension of the existing program through the rental of a new plot for the production of organic fruits and vegetables.
- Biodiversity Center:
Located just steps from the GAÏA Educational Garden, the new pavilion is designed to welcome schools, nurseries, and after-school care centers for off-season activities, as well as companies and associations for events focused on the environment and sustainable development.
