He is the co-founder of workeer, a project which was established with his fellow student Philipp Kühn as a final project of their studies. workeer is the first training and job exchange platform in Germany, which is specifically aimed at refugees. With the platform, the team tries to create a suitable environment in which this particular group of jobseekers are able to encounter matching employers.
