Awareness and advocacy
DUO for a JOB wants to make its expertise available to policy makers, public services and companies, to contribute to the development of policies and relevant practices in professional integration and social cohesion at the local, national and international levels.
Our goals and priorities
Drawing on real field experience, we have developed our expertise and believe it is our responsibility to use it to bear witness and to broadcast the voice of those we accompany. As a priority, we wish to :
- Raise awareness of the benefits of diversity through the media and social networks.
- Promote partnerships and collective work with charitable and trade union organisations
- Provide input to political representatives and argue for the implementation of recommendations
- Share our findings and ideas for action with public bodies
- Support employers in implementing positive diversity management
- Collaborate with the academic sector and research organisations
The findings are clear: Belgium has the lowest employment rate in Europe for people born outside the European Union. This figure clearly puts in question the inclusive nature of the Belgian employment market and our society in general – and this when a fifth of the Belgian population is of foreign origin. Will we be able to handle this diversity and draw on the benefits which could accrue from it?
