Intervention
Based on the "Supported Employment Approach", the aim is to integrate refugees into the primary employement market as quickly as possible (first place, then train). After assessing a potential for a direct placement into the employment, an integration plan is drawn up with each participant, which sets out the goals and measures in the short and medium term; the future employer is closely involved in that process. Qualifying support measure take place during employement; likewise participants receive ongoing coaching. If a direct entry into employment is not considered as appropriate, particpants receive individual support measures to get employment ready. Each participant is allocated to a single coach. Employers can receive for a period up to 6 months a subvention for training in case the participant is not fully capable of fullfilling the work requirements.
Target population
Recognised refugees or other migrants with a temporarily right to stay who are not in training or employment, show a medium to high likeliness for employment integration and fall under the jurisdiction of the canton of Bern.
