The Fast Track Labour Market Integration of Immigrants: Work-related Learning of Culture, Language and Profession (W. Bertelsmann Verlag, Jan. 2023) [open access]

- "This study refers to the findings of the three-year empirical research project entitled 'New Talents for companies – Developing the potentials of immigrants and refugees (Talents)'. The project focused on a new form of comprehensive language and professional training for immigrants and refugees geared towards supporting their fast access to the world of work – as jobs are considered to be the most important basis for successful integration. As part of the research project, partners from Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Norway, and Sweden joined forces to develop and test new integration strategies in countries and regions which have welcomed high numbers of refugees and which, in

general, have high immigration rates."
