Context and background of the projectThe number of refugees and asylum seekers in Germany and other European countries is increasing. This challenge requires different instruments for fostering their long-term integration, because it cannot be expected that they will be able to get back in their home-countries in the nearer future. Mainly instruments are focused on the satisfaction of basic needs. But for a long-term and sustainable way of integration and for reducing the risk of exclusion and the related social problems on one hand and using these resources for reducing the lack of qualified employees on the other an early access to preparation and training for the job-market is essential. Although a lot of European countries meet this challenge the involved institutions as for instance labor administration, educational institutions, NGOs work regional and rarely cross-linked. CVET providers, NGOs and labor-administration try to adapt measures and training which are in origin offered for migrants and unemployed people to integrate refugees in training and jobs. Sometimes it is expedient, sometimes not. But each institution works alone and isolated, a coordinated concept is unforeseeable.Objective of the project:The aim of the project is to identify good practices of successful measures and projects under this guideline, to evaluate them in relation to the agreed criteria in terms of efficiency, recognition and certificates, sustainability, transferability, quality, to present the best ones in the collection on the website and to visit some in the partner countries. This collection of best practices should foster the efforts and identify possible barriers to educate and train refugees and to integrate them in the job-market. It helps to network under the aim to develop successful measures in a good quality and to make possible the transition between different stages of guidance, training and job. Number and profile of partnersWe choose seven partners out of seven countries presenting a range of different kind of VET/CVET providers, NGOs and public bodies dealing with the integration of refugees in the job-market. The partners’ countries are those which receive numerous refugees and which are meeting the challenge to integrate them. All partners are experienced in projects and are well integrated in networks. This will make way to a very balanced approach and allow for a maximum possible target group. Project results, impact and longer term benefits:RevoT will support the organizations to provide expedient training and guidance for refugees on their way in job-integration by the presentation and use of best practices. Fostering those efforts could reduce the risk of severe problems with non-integrated refugees. SMEs get new resources for qualified trainees and employees. The emerged networks will enhancing these processes. The staff will strengthen their knowledge about the situation of refugees, the challenges of their integration and will get new ideas for their work and a strong motivation to develop expedient and successful training and measures.A high transfer potential, the dissemination on a national and European wide level and the availability of the product during and after the end of the project enable the use of the best practices Nation and European wide.The booklet of best practices will stay available in future on the website. The consortium plans to develop a strategy, a curriculum for the CVET for refugees and a learning platform with material in a future project on the base of the collected best practices and the feed-back of the involved organizations.
