Guidance and Support for Women with Migration Experience – Step by Step into Employment and Participation
Have you come to Germany and have questions about work, training, or settling into everyday life? The project “Sie weiß Bescheid” (“She Knows the Ropes”) run by the Saxon Refugee Council (Sächsischer Flüchtlingsrat e.V.) supports women with refugee and migration experience on their path into employment, education, and social participation in Germany.
We provide individual counseling and support – for example, with job applications, language courses, dealings with authorities, or the recognition of qualifications. We also offer workshops on career orientation, exchange, and empowerment.
A particular focus is on low-threshold and mobile services in Chemnitz as well as in Zwickau, Mittelsachsen, and the Erzgebirgskreis district. Counseling can also take place at women’s meeting places and community centers – in a trusting atmosphere tailored to the participants’ needs.
The project is based on a three-pillar model:
- Individual counseling on qualifications, career paths, and residency status
- Support in dealings with employers and authorities
- Group activities on labor market orientation, exchange, and empowerment
Our goal is to empower women, open up new perspectives, and support them on their own individual path. If you are a migrant woman interested in our counseling and support, or if you would like more information, we are happy to serve as a point of contact.
