Valuing diversity: guidance for labour market integration of migrants

improve future career prospects in the new country. Guidance also plays an
important role in empowering women, who may face specific challenges in labour
market participation, and in reducing the impact of migrant youth disengagement
from training. Effective guidance can also help reduce the risk of social tensions.
This Cedefop study contributes to raising awareness across Europe about
the critical contribution that guidance services can make to the migrant
integration process, analysing all aspects which affect the quality of their
provision.
One important message from this study is the need for greater policy
coordination and cooperation through the engagement of relevant stakeholders,
including employers, trade unions and migrant communities, to respond better to
the needs of immigrants, firms and society.
