«I am the coach and I strive to develop my team members.»
Pascal Haller
Head of Bodywork and Vehicle Painting

Pascal Haller enabled Kevin Cubisino to make a career change into car painting. His motto is: do good and talk about it! He himself did not have an easy path. That is why it is important to him that everyone gets a second chance in life. Large companies in particular should give people with health impairments and disabilities the opportunity to find their feet again in everyday life.

Thanks to the successful collaboration between Profil IV Aargau, Kevin Cubisino is now happily and highly motivated in his dream job.

abilia Basel

«Motivation plays a crucial role for us.»
Daniela Huber
Head of Department at abilia in Basel

Abilia is always open to lateral entrants, as motivation plays the main role. The fact that Raquel E. Belliard is already over 50 years old did not hinder her employment. On the contrary, since residents in the Bonifacius residential home are in the third phase of life, it makes sense for the support team to include more than just young employees. Teams with a diverse age range also offer significant potential!

Our experience working with Profil entirely positive!
