ABSTRACT:

INTEGRA will provide young people with immigrant backgrounds that suffer from social discrimination with specific tools to overcome the barriers, entering labor market opportunities. As the FRA in its Dec’21 summary report has outlined that “People with ethnic minority, religious or immigrant backgrounds regularly experience discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief in employment and to a higher degree than the general population” and “In 2018 more foreign-born young people aged 15-29 years were not in employment, education or training in the EU than native-born young people (12%).” INTEGRA can contribute to the reduction of differences on social inclusion as far as the employability and the access to labor market opportunities are concerned. The more the young migrants improve their capabilities the more they will have the possibility to not be discriminated.

Project OUTCOMES:

(1) Training Format

(2) Digital Tools
