The main objectives of the project were: 1.Institutional growth and internationalization of WIR and COSVITEC in the areas of career counseling, assimilation, and integration of immigrants in the professional context through transnational cooperation. This approach enabled the exchange of experiences, understanding the realities of career counselors' work, and learning about labor markets, including those for immigrants. 2.Development and implementation of a new online tool - the Integrative Individual Action Plan (i-IAP) and the guide "Assimilation of Immigrants in the Professional Context," which improved the quality of vocational education and training at WIR, COSVITEC, and other labor market institutions. This approach enhanced the quality of services provided by career counselors by adapting their tools. 3.Promoting equal access, social and professional inclusion, and counteracting discrimination and stereotypes in the context of immigrants by adapting career counseling tools at WIR and COSVITEC. This resulted in effective and efficient actions aimed at supporting immigrants in integrating and assimilating into their new environment and labor market.
This project addressed the evolving realities in vocational education and training amid increasing migration. WIR and COSVITEC, experienced in labor market support, improved their service efficiency, especially transnationally. The project aimed to develop these organizations in supporting immigrants, yielding multi-dimensional benefits: better meeting labor market needs, activating disadvantaged individuals, reducing unemployment, enhancing vocational education quality, and countering intercultural divisions and discrimination. WIR and COSVITEC adopted new solutions to address the influx of immigrants to Campania, Italy, and refugees from Ukraine to Poland. The project demonstrated that Poland and the EU are open to immigrant needs. By developing the online tool i-IAP and the guide "Assimilation of Immigrants in the Professional Context," the project supported career advisors and advanced WIR and COSVITEC. Sharing the results raises awareness of migration and immigrant professional challenges, breaks stereotypes, and promotes Sustainable Development Goals and the "New European Bauhaus."
