Jobs4Refugees

A 2023 ifo Institute survey shows that 43% of German companies face a skilled worker shortage. The grant will help expand Jobs4Refugees’ work with SMEs which often face labour shortages but lack the budget and knowledge to recruit and train new arrivals. In supporting refugees to secure long-term positions with SMEs and enhancing diversity-sensitive recruitment, Jobs4Refugees addresses these challenges. Amidst a rise of exclusionary narratives, Jobs4Refugees fosters new conversations among civil society organisations, companies, and chambers of commerce, reducing skill shortages while combating structural discrimination in the labour market.
