The Talents empirical research had an unexpected finding: many companies in the research
project regions are open to giving the best possible support to immigrants and refugees - not
only because they are looking for new hires but also because they see it as their social duty
to help the newcomers to find a job. Especially the staff members are motivated to support the
new colleagues contribute to their development and be mentors to them. However public funding
is urgently needed to implement industrial and language trainings. The book addresses employers
interested in employing refugees but also practitioners from education and other facilitators
of integration working immigrants. It provides them with a great number of best practices and
ideas for effective pathways to create and manage learning processes for workplace language and
professional learning for new international staff. The research study should inspire decision
makers on the political and the system level to embed fast track labour market integration
schemes in other existing programmes.
