About

Developing skills and integration of migrants, refugees and asylum applicants in European labour markets.

Project Outcomes

  • SIRIUS created a game application called WORKEEN, created by a team of political scientists, sociologists, economists and software engineers to provide practical guidance and hands-on soft skills training for any migrant entering the labour market for the first time.
  • WORKEEN guides migrants as they follow all the necessary steps to secure a job. The application provides a checklist that helps them identify required documentation, before delivering guidance on how the migrant should present his/her skills and past experiences. Additional information is provided on how to contact a placement agency, write a cover letter and CV, and prepare for a job interview.
  • WORKEEN helps newly appointed migrants succeed in their new role.
  • WORKEEN application was available from the Google Play Store for Android devices, free of charge. It’s available in English, Arabic, Farsi, and six different European languages.
