IMMI-Train - "Supporting Efficient Recruitment of Immigrants" (Leonardo da Vinci II) 2005 - 2007
Background:
Mobility of citizens across countries is one phenomena of our era. The reception and social integration of immigrants is one of the major challenges facing Europe today.
The lack of information or misleading information within companies regarding immigration rights, laws and potenzialities of foreign employees, tend to provoke their negligence among the native population. Neglecting the potenzialities of immigrants, and allocation them out of the formal work system undermining their skills and knowledge is leading to marginalization of foreign communities and loss of their motivation.
