The project is a response to the identified problems with taking up or maintaining professional activation residing within the scope of the Applicant's activity (hereinafter: VMZDZ), legally residing in Poland third-country nationals from Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia. The number of foreigners in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship has been steadily increasing for years. The reason for this phenomenon was the need for local employers, who, as a result of staff shortages (mainly in the tourism, construction and production industries), increasingly reached for workers from abroad. According to the source migracje.gov.pl, in 2021 there were approx. Six thousand foreigners (of which approx. 76% had permission to work), but according to ZUS statistics, the local labour market at that time was supplied by more than 17,000 foreigners, with the vast majority being people registered in other regions of the country. Data on foreigners changed drastically after 24.02.2022. Almost in an instant, a large number of working Ukrainians returned to the country to defend their homeland (according to WMZDZ's own research from III.2022 conducted among 18 local employers - approx. 80% left the job, leaving a gap in employment). On the other hand, war refugees from Ukraine (mainly women with children) and citizens of other countries (especially from Belarus, Georgia) came to the areas of Warmia and Masuria, who, in the face of a real threat from Russia, successively came here looking for protection and a better life, not necessarily interested in taking up employment. Currently (2024), according to the above-mentioned source, 12,000 foreigners are legally staying in Warmia and Masuria, of which approx. 80% are third-country nationals, of which 53% come from Ukraine, 11% from Belarus and 6% from Georgia, with the largest representation of women among citizens of Ukraine (46%) and Belarus (42%), and according to ZUS statistics, at the end of 2023, the number of working people contributed to approx. 36 thousand foreigners, but this number is significantly decreasing and the needs of employers are growing. According to own interviews with 78 (including 64% of women) third-country nationals (Ukrainians, Belarusians and Georgians) conducted in III.2024; hereinafter referred to as: foreigners or foreigners) who are within the scope of the Association and on the group of local stakeholders cooperating with the WMZDZ (entrepreneurs employing foreigners, labour market institutions, employment agencies, non-governmental organizations providing assistance to refugees), the problem of effective integration of foreigners into the labour market affects not only those who came to the areas of Warmia and Mazury after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, but also those who have been working in Poland for years. The former, after "reconciling" with the loss of what is important and close, ready today to take up professional activity, need advisory support and a stimulus to take action - their difficult time has not allowed them to fully prepare (they still do not know the reality, needs and functioning of the local labour market, they do not know to what extent to retrain, Polish know in a very basic and general scope, but they also communicate in Russian or English, etc.). In turn, the latter - as a result of greater competition, they are afraid of losing their employment, which in the face of often poor knowledge of Polish (in the opinion of employers, raising competences from the Polish language, in particular the industry language, requires approx. 50% of working foreigners), mismatched qualifications to the needs of the local market (over 88% of people do work without substantive preparation), as well as a lack of loyalty between employees and employers (in almost 100% of cases, employers are unwilling to participate in the costs of improving the qualifications of foreigners for fear of leaving the trained person to another employer, and employees are ready to leave their employer as soon as they get a more financially attractive offer), is highly likely. In conclusion, for foreigners already CD in inf. additional
