Description
<< Background >>In recent years, the number of non-EU workers in Hungary has risen very significantly, to more than 80,000. This increase is mainly due to workers from neighbouring countries, Ukraine and Serbia, although the number of workers from the Far East has also been growing recently.The integration of third-country workers is a major challenge, both from a social and labour market perspective. Our country is at an early stage of this process. At present, migration is still manageable, but the expected demographic trends and labour market interests must be addressed. If current economic and demographic trends continues, it is estimated that in the not too distant future Hungary will need to employ 500,000 foreign workers in industry, the service sector, health care and social services.With our project we wanted to help the integration of these workers to the workplace.<< Objectives >>International literature distinguishes four dimensions of integration for foreign workers:•cognitive integration: when a person learns the language, customs and norms•structural integration: living and working standards and job security, and the chance for upward mobility•social integration: when a person builds up a network of contacts with both fellow migrants and local residents•emotional integration: developing a sense of belonging to the host societyWith our project we wanted to help this process, as we wanted to help the first steps of the workers and the employers on this long journey. << Implementation >>The project had two mayor activities in the form of curriculum development: -Intercultural training for foreign workers (basic cultural, safety, hygiene and communication skills in several languages in the form of video learning materials)-Cultural sensitivity training curriculum for employers and local workers.<< Results >>The project prepared an intercultural training video for foreign workers in various languages and a training material for local employers and workers about cultural sensitivity and inclusion.
