Description
This project aims to enhance self-employment opportunities for refugees and marginalized groups in the Czech Republic, closely aligning with the objectives of the Social Dialogue and Decent Work Programme. Through tailored training and capacity building programs, it addresses specific labour market needs and supports marginalized groups.
The project aims to share knowledge of business opportunities in the Czech Republic for Ukrainian refugees, migrants, and other disadvantaged groups, making it easier for them to enter the Czech labour market and become self-employed. The project consists of three main parts: an internal training trip to Norway, a roadshow in five selected Czech cities featuring educational and consulting seminars for Ukrainian refugees, and the creation of informational materials on business opportunities in the Czech Republic.
Given the significant refugee population in the Czech Republic, facilitating their access to decent work is crucial for successful integration. Refugees and marginalized groups often face challenges when starting businesses in a new country, such as language and legal barriers. Project ROSE proposes a specific solution to one of the legal barriers, by assisting individuals in obtaining the necessary Czech legal trade license.
Additionally, the project recognizes the potential for entrepreneurial activities to extend beyond the Czech Republic, particularly with the eventual transfer of businesses back to Ukraine. This approach not only fosters entrepreneurship but also contributes to the long-term economic development of both countries while facilitating refugees'' integration into the European market.
