The CMinaR project aims to develop and pilot research-based Higher Education courses that qualify future career counsellors for innovative career counselling and guidance for refugees and migrants. Additionally in-service trainings for career counselling practitioners working in Public Employment Agencies, will equip them with the knowledge, strategies and material to help them in their day-to-day practice for the counselling of migrants and refugees. The Higher Education course and the in-service-training for career counsellors will consist of six elaborated course units. The development of the course builds on a comprehensive analysis of the needs of the project’s target groups: lecturers, students, career counsellors as well as refugees and migrants. For the needs analysis the partners will combine elements of a qualitative questioning and online focus groups. Moreover, the development builds on the outcomes of a comprehensive analysis of literature, media and resources in the project’s first phase. The CMinaR project aims to tackle the challenge of integrating refugees and migrants into the labour market by bringing together experienced partners from countries that are amongst the most affected by, and that play a key role in handling the refugee crises – Germany, Italy, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
