Companies need support in integration matters. die Berater^® project listed as Best Practice by European Commission

In recent years many programmes have been in place to give early school leavers a second chance to complete education and vocational training and enter the labour market. But still many employers hesitate to hire such young people, because they do not seem to match expectations and are seen as a potential source of future problems in the enterprise. The EU-funded project YES-Youth Employment Support developed a comprehensive approach – consisting of workshops and e-learning, coaching and peer support – to allay employers’ fears and support them in the insertion phase. Now, YES has been highlighted as Best Practice in the European Commission’s publication “Tackling Early School Leaving“. The successful YES approach is at present transferred to another integration target group: REST, a project financed by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF), promotes employment of refugee immigrants.

International Request for Entre-You Training

Many of the refugees who have been arriving in Europe in the past two years got the legal title to stay and are now emerging in the labour markets. Various integration programmes to prepare them for employment are in place: vocational qualification assessment programmes, language courses, European value and integration courses, general labour market qualification, orientation and insertion programmes, informal counselling and support centres, refugee volunteering schemes, to list but some of the most common integration measures. die Berater is providing several programmes of this kind.

These programmes are no doubt needed and a pre-requisite to successful entering the European labour markets. But they are not enough. Many companies and organisations which are expected to employ refugee immigrants are reluctant to do so. According to the Austrian Employment Service (AMS) only 15% of those refugees who have arrived in Austria between 2015 and mid 2016 with a positive asylum decree have managed to find a job.

Not only need refugees be prepared and qualified, also their prospective employers need information, support and encouragement to employ refugees. The project REST, developed by die Berater together with partners from Germany, Greece, Italy and Bulgaria and funded by the European Union’s AMIF programme, will develop suitable training and counselling offers for employers in the next two year. The project has just started with a kick-off in Kassel, Germany.

LikeHome is a collaboration project between nine organizations from seven different European countries to foster the inclusion of newly arrived migrants and refugees to a host country´s education and training systems, to the local economy and society in general.
