Talent has no borders. Neither should opportunity.
Every missed opportunity costs us all — economically, socially, and humanly. Every successful placement into a job rebuilds lives, strengthens the future of our workforce, and moves us closer to a society that leaves no one behind.
Help build what holds Germany together.
Funding & Strategic Partners
What we do — and why it works
For over a decade, we’ve unlocked potential, removed barriers, and helped people with refugee and migration backgrounds build stable, lasting careers.
Orientation & Development

We assess skills, close qualification gaps, and develop clear career pathways — preparing talent for roles that are both achievable and future-proof.
Job Matching

We connect employers with the right talent through precise, needs-based matching — from first interview to first day on the job.
Ongoing Support & Stability

80% of all talents pass probation. We support talent and employers beyond placement — enabling strong onboarding, mediation and lasting employment outcomes.
Impact that delivers on multiple levels
Every job placement changes a life — but the impact goes further. We remove barriers at their root, creating lasting change for individuals, businesses, and society.
Individual
Stable employment restores independence, confidence, and dignity. It strengthens families, breaks cycles of poverty, and creates real, lasting opportunity.
Economic
We help employers fill critical roles in healthcare, trades, and mobility with diverse, job-ready talent. Every placement drives productivity, fuels economic growth, and proves that diversity is a key driver of innovation and resilience.
Societal
Germany faces a growing shortage of skilled workers — while untapped talent is ready to contribute. We bring both together, building a more resilient and future-ready society.
Systemic
We make successful integration visible — reshaping the narrative around migration. This strengthens social cohesion and reduces polarization at scale. Beyond Germany, our impact continues: stable income secures livelihoods and builds stronger families and communities over time.

Why your support matters now more than ever
The political center is shifting — and polarization is growing.
Election results and polling show Germany is moving towards the right. Skepticism toward immigration has grown, and the democratic center is shrinking. The more trust in migration erodes, the more outcomes and economic participation matter.
Diversity is facing a global backlash.
Gender initiatives, DEI programs, and Pride logos were long considered essential for German corporate image. Now, many are reversing course. Yet diversity remains our engine for an innovative and resilient economy and society.
Germany is losing ground in attracting international talent.
"The very foreigners Germany needs most don't want to stay." One in four immigrants is reportedly considering leaving — including in the sectors with the most acute labor shortages. That's a cost we can't afford to ignore.
The systems needed for successful integration are still falling short.
As sociologist Steffen Mau puts it: what fell apart in 2015 wasn't goodwill — it was infrastructure. Language acquisition, education, labor market access. That's the gap we identified. And the gap we're closing.
Strong partnerships. Real impact.
Lasting change is built together — here are three partnerships that prove it.

Among 34 projects across 19 countries sharing $25 million in funding, socialbee was selected for its work on inclusion, gender equity, and empowering refugee women — investing the grant in digital infrastructure and its own learning platform.

Multiple projects in retail and logistics are funded through Munich's Employment and Qualification Program (MBQ), which aims to strengthen professional integration and create sustainable employment pathways.
