DEVMIGRA SPANISH FOCUS GROUP RESULTS

The integration of young people with migrant backgrounds in the labor market faces significant challenges, including discrimination, lack of experience, and lack of acceptance. These issues are exacerbated by the structural problem of bias in CVs and the lack of anonymity in Spain. Educators can play a role in promoting the inclusion of migrant youth by building partnerships and ensuring successful first work experiences.

Educators should focus on building networks and utilizing social media to connect with potential employers. They should also mediate and highlight structural problems, as many young people start with poor treatment or pay.

Developing essential skills for migrant youth in the labor market includes communication, teamwork, patience, and soft skills. They should be trained in how to talk about their skills and how to communicate them effectively.

Educators should also encourage young people to go for jobs, even if they don't have a job application on their website. By doing so, they can help them overcome the barriers and achieve success in the labor market.

In conclusion, promoting the integration of migrant youth in the labor market requires addressing discrimination, building partnerships, and fostering a supportive environment. By doing so, they can create a more inclusive and successful workforce for all.
