“…Humanitarian refugees and survival migrants, for instance, are likely to have suffered extensive trauma and psychological distress, which requires services that are targeted, coordinated, and comprehensive. Highly qualified migrants, on their part, face different sets of challenges (Ennerberg, 2021;Knappert et al, 2019), as will note further on. Women, LGBTI people, and persons with disability can be exposed to even more trenchant discrimination, with their rights and needs being deemed secondary to their male, able-bodied or heterosexual counterparts.…”

“…Even when they do have such evidence, it is not uncommon to face difficulties in having their qualifications recognised, or in establishing fair equivalence with those in the country they have moved to. This leads to "role shocks" and threats to "career identity", often the outcome of "occupational closure" by professions-such as medical doctors, engineers, accountants, and teachers-obliging highly qualified immigrants to settle for jobs at a lower level than in their home country (Ennerberg, 2021).…”

The labour market integration of migrants and refugees: career guidance and the newly arrived

This scoping paper sets out to consider various aspects of the phenomenon of people on the move, and to examine some of the ways in which career guidance has responded to the challenge of integrating the newly arrived. The paper is informed by a recognition of the dignity of individuals above any classificatory system that places persons in a hierarchy, with some having access to rights that others are denied. This stance requires career practitioners to confront the prevalent vocabulary, discourses and attitudes circulating in the mainstream in order to become aware of-and to overcome-personal prejudice, thus opening up possibilities for more socially just forms of service. A synthesis of relevant literature concerning the integration of migrants and refugees in the labour market is provided in order to signpost emancipatory forms of career guidance, ones that move beyond an emphasis on individual resilience to take seriously the impact of exclusionary social practices and structures. The paper concludes by highlighting a number of initiatives that suggest that career guidance is rising to the challenge of catering for a diverse group of newly arrived by mobilising theoretical frameworks that are fit for purpose, by developing bespoke training programmes for practitioners, and by sharing the lessons learnt from the field. Keywords Migrants • Refugees • Emancipatory career guidance RésuméCet article considère les personnes en mouvement, et comment l'orientation professionnelle a soutenu l'intégration des nouveaux et nouvelles arrivant-e-s.

“…For Western European host countries, the inflow of highly educated refugees means that rapid recognition of academic degrees or fast-track programs for qualification improvements [ 68 ] will be key for preventing stark mismatches between refugees’ qualifications and the jobs they end up working in. As de-qualification has been shown to be even more pronounced for women [ 69 , 70 ], the predominantly female refugee population from Ukraine should be supported with free childcare, on-the-job training, and flexible working hours, including a continuation of pandemic-related remote work.…”

Almost eight million Ukrainians have fled their country to escape the Russian full-scale invasion. To provide empirical evidence on how beneficiaries of temporary protection who reside in the immediate proximity of Ukraine differ from those who went further and reside in Western European countries, two large-scale rapid-response surveys were conducted in Kraków, Poland, and Vienna, Austria, in spring 2022. Data include information on socio-demographic characteristics, human capital, and return intentions of 472 and 1,094 adult Ukrainian refugees in Poland and Austria, respectively. Contributing to the growing empirical evidence on consistent assortative patterns in refugee inflows into Europe, our findings show that regularities in patterns of self-selection also occur in forced migration contexts where legal routes to safety apply. According to the analysed convenience sample, a tentative conclusion is that the further Ukrainian refugees moved to the West, the more self-selected they tend to be in the key dimensions of formal educational attainment, previous employment, language skills, and urbanity. Results indicate that willingness to stay in Kraków is significantly lower than willingness to remain in Vienna. This suggests that public financial support and living conditions, rather than diaspora networks, are decisive factors in shaping the decision to stay, move to another location or return to Ukraine. The aim to start a new life elsewhere may drive the motivation to choose a more distant destination instead of a neighboring country that allows to return rather quickly. Host countries should be aware of these specific characteristics of their refugee populations and adapt their integration policies accordingly.

“…To ważne, jeśli myślimy o ich pozostaniu w regionie na stałe, jednak wymaga właściwego przygotowania, co pokazują m.in. doświadczenia szwedzkie (Ennerberg, 2021). Praca poniżej kwalifikacji powoduje bowiem utratę umiejętności i uniemożliwia powrót do dawnego zawodu, a poza tym niezaspokojone ambicje zawodowe mogą negatywnie wpłynąć na postrzeganie całego pobytu w Polsce w tym w województwie opolskim.…”

CEL NAUKOWY: Uzyskanie wiedzy w zakresie możliwości wykorzystania kwalifikacji uchodźców z Ukrainy na polskim rynku pracy. Artykuł uzupełnia lukę badawczą odnoszącą się do zagadnień związanych z zatrudnieniem migrantów wojennych zgodnie z posiadanym przez nich wykształceniem. Wskazuje na wyzwania w tym zakresie. To zupełnie nowa perspektywa poznawcza. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Badanie zostało przeprowadzone w marcu–kwietniu 2022 r. wśród 1481 uchodźców z Ukrainy, którzy przybyli do województwa opolskiego. Wykorzystano kwestionariusz ankiety przygotowany w języku ukraińskim, dane zbierano metodą pen and paper interview (PAPI) w urzędach gmin w regionie, a także w centrach zakwaterowania zbiorowego. PROCES WYWODU: Artykuł rozpoczęto od przeglądu literatury odnoszącej się do badań w zakresie wykorzystania kwalifikacji uchodźców. Następnie omówiono metodę badawczą oraz scharakteryzowano badaną grupę. W kolejnej części omówiono wyniki badań i zawarto dyskusję na temat uwarunkowań i wyzwań dotyczących zatrudnienia uchodźców z perspektywy opolskiego rynku pracy. Zakończono podsumowaniem zawierającym rekomendacje. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Blisko połowa badanych uchodźców miała wyższe wykształcenie. Znajomość języka polskiego wśród uchodźców była słaba (30,7%), a nawet bardzo słaba (50,8%). Mimo tego niemal połowa z tej grupy osób (49,1%) chciała podjąć zatrudnienie. Wśród osób z bardzo dobrą znajomością języka było to 29,4%. Co więcej, pracowało już 8,4% osób ze słabą znajomością języka i niewiele więcej (11,8%) osób dobrze znających język polski. Wśród wyuczonych zawodów byli ekonomiści, psychologowie i pedagodzy i inżynierowie. WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Zrealizowane badania wnoszą nową wiedzę w zakresie wyzwań związanych z wykorzystaniem kwalifikacji uchodźców z Ukrainy.. Ustalono, że do barier należą m.in. słaba znajomość języka polskiego oraz zakładana przez uchodźców nietrwałość pobytu (większość badanych planowała powrót do Ukrainy).
