Arbeit und Bildung e. V. Competence for labour market and integration Problematic areas Ø Socialisation (living in 2 cultures, language, family, social environment) Ø School environment (lack of parental cooperation with school) Ø structural aspects (school system, counselling/ choice of suitable occupation) Conclusions Ø labour market situation Young people with migrant backgrounds grow up in a social environment characterized by extremely high unemployment levels and a lack of vocational qualification. There are few good examples of successful career paths to follow. German citizenship does not in itself guarantee equal opportunities for migrants. For qualified educational and vocational guidance, cross-cultural competence is as important as the knowledge of vocational training systems. Legal and social framework differ for particular immigrant communities. Systematic guidance and counselling for parents and children with migrant background at pre-school and the early school stages is a prerequisite for a successful start and the social integration of the young generation. Existing „good-practice“projects on national, regional and local level need a long term perspective. 18
