About Sindbad
editSindbad is an innovative Social Business that has been supporting young people in Austria since 2016 through a unique 1:1 mentoring program. The company is dedicated to connecting students from disadvantaged educational backgrounds with young professionals and students to help them with future planning and encourage them to lead an independent life. With over 2,500 successful mentoring teams, Sindbad has already reached 4,508 young people and plans to support a total of 10,000 individuals by 2026.
Key Products and Services
editThe core of Sindbad is the mentoring program, which brings students (mentees) together with mentors aged 20 to 35 for 8 to 12 months. These mentors accompany the young people during their transition to a secondary school or an apprenticeship. The program is free for the mentees and offers mentors the opportunity to engage socially and learn about new life worlds. The high success rate speaks for itself: 83% of mentoring teams successfully complete the program, and just as many mentees successfully enter training or apprenticeships.
Mission and Values
editSindbad is passionately committed to equal opportunities and no longer wants to accept the loss of chances and talents among young people. The company promotes a network where students, young professionals, and companies can learn from and benefit each other. The values of Sindbad are based on social engagement, educational justice, and the promotion of resilience and hope.
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editSustainability is an integral part of Sindbad's work. The company works closely with partners such as WU and the UNIQA ESG team to promote sustainable projects and strengthen the project management skills of participants. These initiatives not only create new friendships and networks but also contribute to the development of sustainable solutions.
Current Initiatives and Successes
editSindbad is constantly looking for new mentees, mentors, and partner companies to further expand the program. Recent successes include the participation of young people in an exclusive Formula 1 event organized by Red Bull. Such experiences not only provide mentees with unforgettable memories but also the opportunity to make valuable contacts.
Sindbad is proud to have a dynamic and motivated team that is committed to greater equal opportunities. The company offers flexible and family-friendly working hours as well as the possibility to work from home. Sindbad invites all interested parties to become part of this great network and to set sail together for a better future.
