INTEGRATION AND VOCATIONAL COURSE SUGGESTIONS FOR MIGRANTS

Abstract

When the terrorist activities across the world are considered, Turkey is also affected by the migration wave created by it. According to the official numbers, Turkey now hosts 3 million migrants whereas the unofficial numbers claim that this reaches to 5 million people.  The new lives people establish in Turkey bring several integration problems such as loneliness, social isolation, alienation, regret or feeling invaluable. Therefore, it is essential that these people improve their language skills and develop skills in order to leave in harmony and peace with the local residents and to overcome the difficulties rising from cultural differences. To serve this aim, integration programmes and vocational courses can help people overcome the integration problem as well as help them gain a skill that could create job opportunities for them. Within the scope of this research, different courses that could be offered to migrants and their potential impacts on these people will be looked into.
