Employability as a key to refugee inclusion. How to design and implement a long-lasting and impactful program.

Refugees face many barriers when they arrive in a new host country, including not knowing the local language, unfamiliarity with the culture, and limited opportunities to connect with the local neighborhood. This makes it even harder to integrate — which reinforces any negative misconceptions about them and makes businesses reluctant to give them employment opportunities. This needs to change. We know that refugees bring skills, diversity, and a different perspective to our business.

Refugee employability means refugee inclusion. Refugee inclusion means the long-lasting prosperity of our societies.
