Over the last few years, European States elaborated integration policies and the EU carried out an important role for their endorsement through concrete actions.
Nevertheless, in terms of employment, education, and social inclusion, those with a migrant background are still in a disadvantaged position compared to European citizens.
Look for a job is key to become part of the economic and social context of the host country.
Accommodate the labour demand through migration can solve the growing lack of workforce and specific competence for example in the field of caregiving, where the imbalance between supply and demand has the consequence of a shortage of caregivers.
MiCare aims to improve the matching between the competence and the needs of the EU labour market, developing an intensive training course also for people with migrant background who wish to work as caregivers for elders and those with special exigencies.
Moreover the project aims to raise awareness among the chambers of commerce, trade unions and training institution on the need to integrate people with migrant background in the labour market, giving them the opportunity to connect and widen their network through the online platform.
