The project aims to make self-employment a viable option for migrants and displaced people in Europe, including those returning to their countries of origin, by training educators to use innovative entrepreneurial tools developed by the partners. Central to the project is the implementation of the @Home in Transition methodology, combining digital tools and face-to-face mentoring. The main target groups include educators working with adult migrants, migrants and displaced individuals, and citizens affected by poverty and conflict, recognizing that local communities are part of the migration ecosystem. The project fosters social inclusion by guiding beneficiaries toward employment and entrepreneurship. It enhances participants’ skills and knowledge through tailored learning pathways and updates to the curriculum aligned with current migration realities. Trainers will also be introduced to digital support tools to boost training effectiveness. By involving stakeholders such as employment agencies and local authorities, the project also promotes wider adoption of digital methods. The partners, as learning organizations, are committed to advancing entrepreneurship education for underserved groups.
This project addresses the need for more entrepreneurial trainers skilled in supporting migrant entrepreneurs. Existing training often fails to meet the needs of migrants in transition or facing psycho-social challenges. Migration dynamics are rapidly evolving, requiring educators, social workers, mediators, and NGO volunteers to update their skills and act as effective trainers. The ongoing development of both professional and non-professional actors will strengthen social inclusion outcomes. Innovative digital tools previously developed by project partners offer strong support for migrant entrepreneurship, but trainers must first be proficient in them to provide tailored, professional support. This project promotes access to upskilling pathways that improve employability, earnings, and inclusion. It introduces a three-step model: skills assessment, tailored coaching, and recognition of competencies. The strategy values individuals’ talents and encourages self-driven action. Empowerment, self-reliance, and collective planning will reduce tensions and foster dignity. The partners aim to share expertise and strengthen trainer networks across five countries, building on the success of the @HIT pilot in Oslo.
