WHAT WE DO
The PRIMACENTERS Framework
We delve into an investigation of the local needs, challenges, good practices, and effective employment mechanisms for migrant workers in the primary sector across all partner countries, forming the basis of the PRIMACENTERS Framework. This framework outlines the scope and types of services provided, specifies the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder, identifies the targeted populations and hosting contexts, and includes structural diagrams and flowcharts.
New mechanisms and tools
We develop and introduce a range of innovative, transferable support mechanisms, services, blueprints and tools designed to facilitate the integration of migrants in the primary work sector and the local community. These include local offer and demand mapping mechanisms, matching and referral mechanisms, training service and referral mechanisms, and community-based cultural activity schemes, such as cultural and language tandems.
Capacity building for professionals
We implement specialised training courses tailored for key stakeholders, such as employment services officers and staff from regional and local authorities, designed to enhance their understanding of the employment needs and challenges in the primary sector, the profiles and needs of migrants, and the effective adoption of our proposed mechanisms and tools.
Policy recommendations
We conduct a comprehensive report summarising the findings and recommendations of the PRIMACENTERS initiative implemented in Greece, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Cyprus, directed at policymakers. This report addresses the official adoption of our proposed mechanisms and tools aimed at enhancing the socio-economic integration of migrant workers in the primary sector.
