The primary goal of the FANS project was to enhance the capacity of Business Support Organisations across Europe in addressing the reception and integration of migrants and refugees. The sub-goals were set as following: - sharing of good practices in integration and employability of migrants in partner countries and creation of transferrable model for similar context; - improve the employability of migrants by developping new innovative business-support training offers; - create a newly designed service and supportive materials for migrants wishing to start their business in Czechia, Poland and Portugal; - reduce language and cultural disparities in training offers for national and migrant citizens and thus to support their inclusion.
The project aims to capacity building of Business support organizations in order to help migrants from Czech Republic, Poland and Portugal. The Ukraine crisis and migration to EU countries has created the need of providing new services for migrants. Their employability is often a problem if the know-how of national language is insufficient. The FANS consortium supported migrants who want to develop their careers in Czech Republic, Poland, or Portugal. The project partners provided them with essential country-specific knowledge and entrepreneurial skills, enabling them to develop their career and integration with the local economy. FANS project is responding to the lack of systematic training programmes for migrants and also to the lack of competences of BSOs‘ staff for working with migrants and helping them to become a part of job market. The common motivation for project partners was to systemize, update and innovate training offers for migrants in order to support their social and labour market integration.
