Employment is the central issue for migrants and refugees. In Victoria the discussion continues about the challenges and barriers that migrants from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds face when seeking meaningful employment appropriate to their skills and experience.
This paper was inspired by ECCV’s Work Solutions Forum in May 2013 where participants shared their ideas, expertise and experience around workforce participation for people from culturally diverse backgrounds. It shows that the debate around employment challenges faced by migrants and refugees needs to be reinvigorated and tackled from a fresh perspective – one that places greater emphasis on practical and positive solutions that make use of evidence-based findings and on-the-ground expertise.
