Short description:
The intercultural career guidance method “Join In a Job!” aims at empowering young people with migration background for the job market and VET. A portfolio of questionnaires, diagnostic tools and worksheets assist career guidance officers in their work with young migrants – country specific tools are available here on CD for practitioners in Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Poland.
8 hints for using “Join In a Job!”
- Experiences in career guidance and intercultural work are essential to use the method effectively.
- Before using the method, get involved with the variety of tools and diagnostic instruments first.

- Rephrase personal questions to what is appropriate for the individual client.
- Mind maps visualize the holistic approach: various living areas are important for the job search.
- Parts of the method can also be used in group settings.
- The most suitable career guidance setting is a long-term one.
- Clients are experts of their own (professional) life!
