Consulting, Continuing Education, and Training for Multipliers
Since 2008, the target group of the “Work Network for Refugees” project has been refugees with at least secondary access to the labor market. Our mission is to support these individuals in their integration into the labor market and to train advocates.

The NAF4work project—Network for Refugee Employment in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, part of the WIR program (“Networks Integrate Refugees into the Regional Labor Market”)—aims to address the specific needs of refugees regarding their participation in the German labor market. This target group includes refugees with a residence permit, individuals with a provisional residence permit, and individuals with a “Duldung” (tolerated status) who are not subject to an absolute ban on working. Temporary bans on working do not affect eligibility.
In implementing the program, special consideration should be given to people with impairments or disabilities, as well as those with health conditions resulting from their experience as refugees.
Under the new guidelines, Sabine Ziesemer and Dayanis Miro Ibarrola are continuing the educational work as part of the project, offering public seminars and in-house training sessions on immigration and asylum law, as well as on the framework conditions for accessing the labor market.
Our network’s services include assessing refugees’ skills, targeted language support and vocational training, assistance with legal and procedural issues, counseling and training for employers, job placement, and supporting refugees and companies during the onboarding phase. Through case management, those involved receive systematic counseling and continuous support.
A total of five operational partners contribute their expertise in refugee services, counseling, language and vocational training and continuing education, staffing services, public administration, job placement, and economic development to the work of the NAFplus network. The network partners are Verbund für Soziale Projekte gGmbH (VSP), the Refugee Council of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Flüchtlingsrat MV e.V.), migra e.V., the Society for Sustainable Regional Development and Structural Research (genres) e.V., and Agentur der Wirtschaft GmbH. VSP gGmbH is responsible for coordination.
In 2014, the Refugee Council of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania took on the task of providing continuing education, training key influencers, and advising stakeholders in the labor market.
