Integration in the hotel: Success story of refugee employees!

Ungargasse 38, 1030 Wien, Österreich - On February 14, 2015, the innovative Magdas Hotel in the Vienna Prater its doors. Through targeted training opportunities in the catering and hotel industry, the hotel wants to make it easier to access the labor market. Caritas director Alexander Bodmann emphasizes that about 60 percent of employees in the hotel had difficulty creation. This is particularly important because many of them suffer from language barriers and long waiting times for asylum notices. The hotel model should not only be economically viable, but also socially sustainable.

Since the move of the Magdas Hotel to Hungary in 2022, the goal of integration and support remains. As reported, the hotel offers extensive programs for promoting further training. Supports, such as Magda's social counseling, are crucial for integration. These consultations took place in around 200 discussions last year alone and offer valuable help.

Integration is supported by numerous initiatives, including educational cars and years of integration. An example of the success of these programs is Hussein Ali Mohamad Ajob, a former employee who is now working as a nursing assistant. He describes his career and emphasizes how important the right support was. Bodmann also appeals to the future federal government to strengthen the framework conditions for the labor market integration of refugees. These measures are not only important for those affected, but also useful from an economic point of view in order to counteract the shortage of skilled workers.
