Brief description of the product / outcome / method
Social coaching
The activity is carried out by the social worker whose responsibility is to raise awareness of the target group about the project, to draft out the individual timetable plan for each client, to assist in writing CV, motivation letters, validation of foreign documents, contacting concrete employers etc. Main objective of this activity is to enable young migrants to deal for themselves, raise their self-confidence, become independent personality and in the end become employed.
Legal counselling
Legal counselling is carried out by the lawyer who is providing legal consultations. General goal of this activity is to provide clients legal assistance to gain for them factual access to their legal rights and to overcome negative setbacks leading to the social marginalisation of the clients.
Requalification courses
This activity is offered to the clients chosen according to certain criteria:
a) Personal criteria: knowledge of language, abilities, personal skills, age, length of stay in CzechRepublic, vulnerability;
b) Factual criteria: actual situation at the local labour market, advantage but not essential is preliminary approval of concrete employer. A link should be established between new labour skills gained by the requalification and concrete job vacancy or interest of concrete employer.
Jobs to try – paid internship through direct financial support to the employer
Jobs to try are naturally following up requalification courses although
it’s not a condition of utilising this activity. Intense cooperation with
client and contracting of the potential employers is an essential condition prior
to the factual materialisation of the “jobs to try” tool.
Courses of proficient Czech language
Courses are focusing primarily on proficient labour language with regard to the needs of labour integration.
Accommodation in asylum house
