LISA - Local Initiatives for the Integration of Young Immigrants in Vocational Training and Employment
A central prerequisite for the successful integration of young people of immigrant backgrounds is a stronger involvement in education and professional training and a smooth transition into the workforce. To this end, communities must create concepts and mobilize resources. Numerous local integration networks have already been built for this purpose.
The aim of this program is to strengthen and share positive examples of empowering local practice in professional training and at the workplace, helping young migrants unlock their potential and competencies for themselves and for the benefit of society.
Since 2006, the Robert Bosch Stiftung has selected 29 projects for such local networks and allocated a total of 2.5 million euros. Each project receives funding over a period of two years. Support for a third year is possible.
From the competition entries and funded projects we were able to compile an overview of possible action strategies for the integration of young immigrants, both those transitioning from school to professional training and recipients of long-term unemployment benefits. Project results have shown that the key to success is not so much original ideas as an exact knowledge of the young migrants' living situation and capacities, and individual, well-tailored support in language acquisition, professional orientation, and training. Other vital elements are cooperation with businesses, personal mentoring, and creating strong ties to the community.
Applications are not possible.
