Integration in the focus: JobCenter offers help for refugees!

Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Deutschland - Today, on May 23, 2025, significant presentations for the integration of refugees took place in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district. The agency for work Berlin Süd, the Jobcenter Tempelhof-Schöneberg and the youth professor Tempelhof-Schöneberg presented its extensive advice and placement offers. The topics presented included asylum procedures, digitization, educational and participation packages as well as language and professional language courses. Elena Zavlaris, the managing director of the Job Center Berlin Tempelhof-Schöneberg, emphasized the central role of integration and the need for close cooperation with local partners to promote and strengthen integration.

Today's specialist day also focused on the exchange between different actors in the area of ​​integration. The "Bridge network for staying rights" was presented, as was the "IQ/RIN network", which is coordinated by the La Red association. This marketplace offered a wide range of opportunities for actors who want to support refugee people in the labor market to network and exchange ideas, which promotes cooperation in the region and creates synergies.

integration through education and language

An essential part of integration is linguistic and cultural integration into society. Integration courses that were introduced in 2005 offer immigrants the opportunity to acquire both language skills as well as basic knowledge of German values ​​and the legal system. These courses are made up of a language and an orientation course and are aimed at everyone who live permanently and lawfully in Germany. It should be emphasized that there are special courses for women, parents, adolescents and courses on literacy.

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) ensures that these integration courses are offered nationwide by private and public providers to ensure the social participation of immigrants. If the language courses are successfully completed, the participants receive a certificate that certifies their knowledge of German. In addition, the migration advice (MBE) offers support before, during and after the integration courses, which also makes integration easier. These concepts and framework conditions continue to develop in order to meet the needs of the participants.

funding and networks for integration

The Federal Office promotes integration projects that aim to improve the acceptance of migrants in society and to strengthen their skills. Funding comes from the Federal Ministry of the Interior and for Home as well as from the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth. A superordinate goal of these projects is the sensitization of the recording company to promote harmonious coexistence.

In addition, the integration course also offers special programs such as professional German language support, which increases the opportunities on the labor market. BAMF regional coordinators work closely with spa carriers, migration advice centers, immigration authorities and job centers to ensure comprehensive support from immigrants. The German Islam Conference (DIK) plays an important role here by acting as a dialogue forum between the German state and Muslims in Germany and focuses on topics such as gender justice and the prevention of extremism.

Overall, today's events underline the need for a structured approach to the integration of refugees and offer a platform to effectively use the multitude of resources that are available. Further information on integration and language courses can be found on the website of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees as well as the integration officer.
