NORMA Group helps by offering German language courses for refugees and career orientation internships

Maintal, Germany, 25 November 2015 – NORMA Group, a global market leader in engineered joining technology, is helping to provide German courses for refugees at its headquarter city of Maintal. The company is also offering four-week career orientation internships for young migrants.

The first German course has already started at the Catholic parish in Maintal-Dörnigheim. Up to 25 pupils are being taught German in 45-minute courses held five days a week. The Working Group Asylum Maintal organized these courses that are supported by the Migrant Academy MYPEGASUS GmbH in Frankfurt. The German language course will run through January 2017. NORMA Group is covering the cost of the classes of around EUR 8,000.

“As an international company with employees from over 40 nations, we view cultural diversity as a core value. Through our social commitment, we want to support the city of Maintal and promote interaction of its citizens. German courses and internships for refugees in our community will contribute to this,” says Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group.

Christine Mayer-Simon from the Working Group Asylum Maintal adds: “These young people would otherwise have no access to either language training or vocational orientation. The courses will be able to help them to successfully integrate them into society.” The Working Group had been offering German language courses on a volunteer basis. Around 322 refugees currently live in Maintal. The municipality will host additional 142 immigrants by the end of this year.
