Wasch.werk: an ‘all inclusive car wash’
At a time when inclusion and equal opportunities are becoming increasingly important, a new car and bicycle workshop in the German city of Ingelheim is a shining example.
The company is called Wasch.werk and it enables people with disabilities to actively participate in society. The car wash shows how inclusive working models can become an integral part of our society.
Wasch.werk is part of a car and bicycle workshop in Ingelheim. It’s not only a place where vehicles are made to shine. Rather, it is a meeting place where employees with a wide range of skills come together to work together.
‘Inclusive is important’
The company was officially opened on February 15 while the Minister President of Rhineland-Palatinate, Malu Dreyer, was present. Wash.werk is creating a total of 14 new jobs, 7 of which are for people with severe disabilities. “The state government of Rhineland-Palatinate is particularly keen to improve the employment situation of people with disabilities in the state”, Dreyer said in front of hundred guests. “Inclusive companies play an important role in promoting equal opportunities, participation and a more inclusive labor market. I am very proud that Rhineland-Palatinate is the federal state with the most inclusive companies in relation to the population.”
