Advisors serve as key points of contact for immigrants seeking an apprenticeship or a job in Saxony-Anhalt. They are familiar with the requirements and the relevant agencies, such as those responsible for the recognition of professional qualifications.
Just as important as the advisors’ expertise is their sensitive approach to clients. These individuals have often already experienced discrimination based on their origin, religion, or gender. Treating them with respect and recognition, and viewing diversity as an asset to the labor market, are essential prerequisites for any consultation or support.
Both full-time staff, such as those in local government and other institutions, and volunteers who advise immigrants on the process of labor market integration require appropriate migration-sensitive counseling skills. This means they must be able to identify the specific challenges arising from the individual migration histories of those seeking advice. Migration-sensitive counseling means showing immigrants action-oriented pathways into the Saxony-Anhalt labor market.
There are also a variety of options available to companies to help immigrant professionals settle into the workplace and to promote cohesion among a diverse workforce. To ensure a migration-sensitive approach to foreign staff, the WelcomeCenter Saxony-Anhalt has compiled 10 recommendations for successful welcome management.
