In its work with migration and the labour market, one of f-bb's priorities is to make the vocational potential of immigrants transparent and promote it by consulting with companies and creating transparency for stakeholders. The aim is to facilitate access to Germany's training and employment market and to ensure equal opportunities through procedures to recognise foreign qualifications and offering qualification, counselling, and other services that meet specific immigrant needs.

f-bb pursues a high interest in the international comparison of strategies for the integration of migrants and refugees into the labour market. International discussions address strategies for professional orientation, entry into the vocational training and employment system, and the recognition of qualifications obtained abroad. Corresponding projects include programmes for the European Commission and for the National Agency of the Training Institute for Vocational Education and Training (NA-BiBB).

Selection of our projects in this area of competence: 

• Virtual bridging measures for people with foreign university degrees in psychology (focus: educational psychology and clinical and health psychology)
• Development and testing of a concept to cover costs for the recognition of qualifications
• IQ Competence Centre for Counselling and Job Training of Migrants
