Featured Good Ideas

  • In London, the Employability Forum has developed innovative programs that improve long-term employment opportunities for refugees and migrants. At the heart of this work is a collaborative and multi-pronged approach that brings together direct support to refugees, bridge-building with employers, and work at the policy level.
  • In Wuppertal, the local government launched the ‘Partizipation’ network, an intensive job readiness project that works with community partners to help asylum seekers find long-term employment. Its systematic, proactive approach includes door-to-door recruitment of clients, job coaching, training courses, mentoring and help with resumes and job applications.
