Fundamentals of counselling

The fundamentals of migration-sensitive employment-oriented counselling are:

Knowledge of the legal foundations: This includes labour and residence law, asylum legislation, the Employment Ordinance and also the Second Social Code (SGB II). You can find more information on the legal basis in the focus area "Legal foundations".

Knowledge of the local structures: Local labour market integration structures include, for example, employment agencies, migrant self-help organisations, associations and other useful contact points.

Reducing language barriers: Simple rules of plain language enable you to reduce language barriers in counselling. You can find information on plain language on the page "Plain language". The use of language mediators, visualisation aids and multilingual information material can also support you in your everyday work.
