Hildener project helps refugees: Mentors support the job start

In Hilden there is a new chapter for refugee people. An ambitious project called "We2 Zum Job" has the goal of supporting people who come from crisis areas on their way to the German world of work. According to the reports of Lokalkompass.de , the program is now supplemented by mentor-based support. These mentors offer individual support and help the mentees not only to improve their language skills, but also to learn practical skills for applications. It turns out that the responsible authorities often have little support, which makes integration even more difficult. A mentor reports on bureaucratic hurdles: "My mentee has been waiting for the recognition of her professional qualification since March 2023," he describes the frustrating situation.

To tackle the challenges such as time management and interviews, the organizers opened a job café in the city library. Various workshops are offered here that focus on important professional skills. This initiative is financially supported by the Rotary Foundation Hilden-Haan. This complements the principles of mentoring, as described by mentiway.com is a mutual partnership based on the exchange of skills and knowledge.

This committed care can not only improve their professional opportunities, but also promote their independence. The example of Hilden illustrates how important mentoring is in today's complex world to promote individual developments.
