Internships, job boards, Welcome pilots – with more than 100 projects have launched a nationwide action program to integrate refugees, the chambers of Commerce (IHK). “There are many businesses that want to do something,” DIHK President Eric Schweitzer said on Thursday in Berlin. Often the good intentions failed but the complicated asylum procedures. Thus, the projects are successful anyway, 170 employees take care of the 80 chambers now just about this topic. With an annual budget of 20 million euros.

A Scene: The skills shortage

The basic idea is: Each CCI to develop a concept, the company provides information and advice, young fugitives dual training in Germany declared or transferred to an operating , In addition, the chambers to assist in the organization of language courses and social studies, detect accounts, gain sponsors for the support during the training or help refugees in start-ups.

the shortage of skilled workers is a motive for commitment the economy; this is the societal goal of a functioning integration. A recent survey by the Ifo Institute shows that only seven percent of companies employ refugees.

What can hesitate companies before

Frank-Jürgen Weise, head of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees , called on Thursday at the DIHK a reason: Many refugees have no clear status. This is one of the biggest problems the companies face. Before anyone starts an education that is important to clarify how long he must ever remain in Germany. Would it be worth it to hire him?

The DIHK is therefore a “true 3 + 2 rule” a. Say: No deportations during the three years of training and in the first two years of employment thereafter. More
setting obstacles are the insufficient language skills and generally the bureaucracy. The asylum procedure, also conceded manner, must be accelerated, and run targeted immigration. “I’m skeptical that the refugees a windfall for the labor market,” he said. “Now, however, where they are there, we should give them a chance and make something of it.”
