Värmland County is facing many challenges as well as possibilities due to the big number of refugees that have arrived during the past years and prognoses show that this number will increase in the coming years. At the same time as the municipalities gets a well needed population increase a lot of employers are having difficulties managing their competence supplies. Many of the refugees with residence permits that come to Värmland could, if they got the right support, match the demands on the labour market and be a valuable resource for employers. Today there is a lack of efficient methods when it comes to supporting refugees with residence permits. To succeed with the labour market integration of refugees all relevant organisations need to cooperate and the municipalities and the Public Employment Office need to develop new work methods together. Studies and statistics show that refugees are discriminated on the labour market. In June 2016 the unemployment rate among the foreign born population in Värmland was 29% compared to the population born in Sweden were the unemployment rate as 8%. Among women and men that come to Sweden as refugees r due to family connections only four out of ten has a job that correspond to their education. Studies also show that foreign born women take part in labour market activities later than men and that many refugees with disabilities are not diagnosed. The project will a norm critical approach and will actively try to break discriminating structures. The goal is that all women and men, despite of gender, gender identity/expression/dysphoria, ethnicity, religion or other beliefs, disability, sexual orientation or age, should get equal opportunities to employment free from discrimination. The Public Employment Office concludes that a well-functioning integration of refugees on the labour market is one of the biggest challenges for Sweden's future access to labour force. In a new report from the County Council it says that in order to make use of the refugee's competences and to shorten the time for labour marked integration all actors in the county need to work together. If they succeed it will result in positive effects for several of the goals in the regional strategy. The report also says that the bigger the investment is early on in the integration process, the higher to profits will be long term. The project Match2Job will focus on cooperation between the Public Employment Office and the participating municipalities concerning early support for refugees with resident permits. The project aims at matching refugees to vocational training within branches that have a lack of labour force in close collaboration with employers. Activities in the project should provide the refugees with the best possible conditions in order to be able to conduct vocational training during their first two years in Sweden. The vocational training should make the refugees attractive to employers and match their competence requirements for hiring. Public Employment Officers, integration workers and guidance councillors will work together in order to map the refugees competences and set up a mutual action plan. The refugee participates in an introductory Swedish language course and the teacher will make an assessment about the student's possibilities of managing vocational training. Those who are not potential participants of the project will get support from the Public Employment Office and might qualify for the project later on. Once the participants join the project they will get an individual action plan that contains of activities that should make the participant ready for vocational training. Some of the activities that are provided are labour market knowledge, study visits, labour market testing in collaboration with employers, guidance counselling, training and courses concerning intercultural communication, gender equality, accessibility and non-discrimination. Once the participants have been successfully matched towards suitable vocational training and have established cooperation with an employer in the same branch, the participant will start the next phase of the project. In the last phase of the project the participants will start a Swedish language course that focuses on the selected branch as well as vocational training. All participants have an individual study plan and in the work places there are selected mentors that receive mentoring training courses. Once the participant has finished the vocational training there will be possibilities for employment. Match2Job will identify and streamline current resources within the participating organisations in order to develop work methods and models that can be implemented. Through trans organisational collaboration Match2Job can contribute to regional added values through efficient use of resources, learning and exchange of experiences.
