“…The regulations have direct implications such as lack or low amounts of opportunities for practicing specific occupations (e.g., medical doctors, lawyers), and were defined as the primary reasons for the prevalent underemployment of immigrants, since degrees received from home countries were not recognized in host countries (Fossland, 2013;Winterheller and Hirt, 2017).…”

The motivation for this study is to uncover career-related issues that high-skilled female immigrants face and their strategies for rebuilding their careers upon migration to a new land.To explore this topic, we performed in-depth interviews with 14 Turkish female immigrants in the U.S. who have successfully rebuilt their careers from scratch upon migration. Content analysis of in-depth interviews with key informants on the subject revealed five theoretical themes that captured the career experiences of these individuals: non-linear career entry, career-orientation, immigrant spirit, social support network, and socialization patterns at work.Integrating these findings with theories on adult learning, we developed a series of theoretical propositions for an experiential learning model of career reconstruction among high-skilled immigrants.3

Temporary employment agencies act as mediators between job-seekers with immigrant backgrounds and the labour market. We ask; do the agencies promote or inhibit participation and social inclusion among immigrants on the labour market? The most important finding, based on a literature review and interviews with representatives of agencies in Norway, is that the agencies primarily help immigrants with transition from unemployment to temporary work, secondarily from temporary work to permanent employment.
