As Inclusive Business, AF-Campus is commercially sustainable and brings returns on investment
AF-Campus is consciously designed as an inclusive and social business. As such it works with a financially sustainable approach and generates business returns without maximizing profits.
Rather, as Inclusive Business, AF-Campus aims an achieving business interests and social impact at the same time. As a social business, it also re-invests parts of its business returns to reduce the costs of the students and increase their social benefits. The company also ensures high social, environmental, and governance standards.
For the Philippines, AF-Campus helps reducing poverty in scale
Most health and other workers in the Philippines come from low-income families (family income less than (€700) and earn little (maybe €500-€600 a month) in their country. Germany (and Austria and Switzerland) income opportunities are much higher
and career prospects and work life much better.
In addition, AF-Campus has a policy to consciously reduce the risk of the poor during the preparation training and when integrating into the European labor market in accordance with local law. It offers to all its students an affordable cost-sharing, free arrangements of all necessary papers, a guaranteed well-paid job with a good employer, an establishment grant for Germany, and follow up coaching in Germany. There are no additional costs for documents, flight, examinations, or uniforms.
For the Philippines, the preparation and placement as a trainee are particularly important because it substantially reduces the high costs for vocational training or college education in the Philippines, often resulting in large indebtedness. Given that overseas foreign workers remit a lot of money to their families back home, working in Europe helps many peoples in the Philippines escaping the poverty trap, and the country gaining lots of contributions to budget and growth.
For the German-speaking labor market, AF-Campus helps to bridge the demand for new qualified job-starters
It is a specific advantage of preparing not only in language but also of basic knowledge in the German labor culture, living conditions, and specific expertise in job-relevant language terminologies. Given the large scale of job starters offered, AF-Campus offers a systemic contribution to the unmet foreign labor demand in Germany.
