The Welcome to Work Office Lichtenberg (WiA Office) is a first point of contact for refugees on the topics of education and employment. In the WiA office, the competences of different actors come together in that mobile education advisors, mobile job advisors, job coaches and integration guides support refugees in shaping their educational and professional careers and provide them with important information and assistance for the realization of their professional goals.
The counsellors in the WiA office identify qualifications and competencies, point out paths to education or the labour market for refugees and arrange suitable offers. They also provide support in the preparation of application documents, job placement and the recognition of qualifications.
