Supporting Access to Employment for People with Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Status

Together with the research program Organizing Integration (OI) at the University of Gothenburg, CGM has a collaboration with the Deakin Center for Refugee Employment, Advocacy, Training and Education (CREATE).

CREATE aims to build knowledge and understanding around how best to support people with a refugee background to rebuild their careers after leaving their home country by gaining meaningful employment and accessing vocational training and education.

Based on a study, CREATE has produced an employer's guide to support the employment of people with refugee and asylum seeker status and a jobseeker's guide with practical advice for job seekers, with an extra focus on people with refugee and asylum seeker status.

The adaptation of the guide to a Swedish context and the translation into Swedish has been made possible thanks to the Faculty of Business and Law, Deakin University (Australia), with the help of the Center for Global Migration (CGM) and the Research Program Organizing Integration (OI), at the University of Gothenburg (Sweden ).
