In your opinion, do the activities carried out by ENTRADA and other similar initiatives have a positive impact on the integration of marginalized migrant people in the labour market? For all respondents the answer was yes . 3. How do you think that such training and learning activities addressing marginalized migrant people could be better promoted so that the target group will be interested and motivated to actively participate? The following indications from our local representatives highlight the need, with people with low language skills, to provide training together with a social worker or cultural mediator. Undoubtedly, the double presence of educator and social worker would facilitate learning by increasing employment opportunities. In fact, as highlighted by an interlocutor, the work culture and social habits are often a barrier that is underestimated by the receiving societies, taking it for granted. Below their quotes: • Always with the support of a social worker or trainer. • Act indirectly on migrants’ skills. • Overcoming linguistic and cultural barriers is essential for finding a job. • Work is made up of relationships, and relationships are facilitated by language skills and the facilitation of experienced and professional operators. • Because it is essential to start from the work culture of the new country of residence, to know one’s rights and duties, and doing it through the use of information technology will be useful in any workplace and also in the relationship with the public administration.
