This guide is for professionals supporting the linguistic integration of adult migrants, including those in language learning, integration programs, vocational education and training, human resources, adult education,  and labour market support services.

Successful integration of adult migrants depends on language skills and employment. Language proficiency is crucial for finding suitable employment, and employment, in turn, helps migrants develop their language skills.

For migrants arriving with limited language skills and no recognized qualifications, support to develop work-related language skills is essential.

The aim is to equip professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to contribute to the linguistic integration of adult migrants, emphasising the critical role of language skills in their successful employment and societal integration.
