Opening up Pathways to Competence and Employment for Immigrants (OPCE)
The direct or indirect discrimination prevent immigrants’ access to education and jobs. Immigrants’ foreign-acquired education and work experience tend to be discounted compared to those of nationally and locally trained. The purpose of the three related projects is to study to what extent immigrants’ prior learning and experience is recognised to contribute access to jobs and career prospects, and to develop related methodologies of recognition and intervention in education research. The target groups of the research are the 1st generation immigrants (less and highly educated adults) and the 2nd generation young people whose parents are/were immigrants.
Funding by Academy of Finland 2009 – 2012
