Finding out solutions for immigrant integration into the labour market requires knowledge of “the bigger picture” of what migrants themselves experience and which factors are relevant for their integration. This project intends to identify these aspects and formulate a sustainable mentoring model together with transnational partners in Europe. Labour market integration in Europe focuses on migrant formal perspectives: certifications, validation, education and work experience. The current focuses has been portrayed in media and research by introducing the idea of costs for migration and integration, the need to place people into vacancies from retired professionals, different areas in lack of professionals and European population getting old. Other aspects have also been introduced by European media and previous research: the need to take care of elderly population, security threats, welfare costs and demographic needs to keep a population growing. Other studies have been focusing on social networks, contacts and labour market integration. Not so much has been attempted to know: Who are the migrants? What do they want? What do they experience? What is the individual role in his own migration and integration process? This project suggests an analysis of migrants’ grassroots integration aspects into a functional and sustainable mentoring model for immigrant integration. Mentoring has been identified by different organizations in Sweden and abroad as a way of integrating people in different aspects. However, mentoring projects haven’t offered a unified working method or target groups. Our challenge in this project is to contribute with new knowledge concerning how to build up a sustainable mentoring method from migrants’ perspectives combining organizational existing challenges and experiences from national and transnational partners from Europa.
