Successful integration in Hamburg: refugees find opportunities in employment
Hamburg is taking a leading role in helping refugees enter employment, demonstrating how targeted training can create lasting opportunities. Two recent reports from SAT.1 REGIONAL and NDR explore how people from Ukraine and other countries are finding their way into employment in the city.
According to NDR, employment among Ukrainian refugees in Hamburg has improved considerably: within one year, the proportion in employment subject to social security contributions rose from 23.4 to 29.9 per cent. This success reflects close cooperation between Jobcenters, companies and training providers offering targeted programmes and support.
SAT.1 REGIONAL also highlights how education and individual support open up new career opportunities for refugees. The medical sector in particular has a strong need for skilled staff, an opportunity that many refugees are keen to take.
