Title: Focus on Career Transitions and Coping of Diverse Populations
Abstract: Many migrant receiving countries are increasingly more concerned about integrating migrants and refugees into the local workplace but also into their societies and culture overall. In our literature, migrants and refugees are often discussed as the ‘new form of diversity’ who experience many challenging forms of career and life transitions. Their experiences require us to reflect on our current understanding of coping with transitions, diversity of their experiences in and out of organizations and the meaning of successful integration. In my work I introduce the audience to what we currently know about the challenges as well as facilitators of skilled migrant and refugee career transitions and integration. Specifically, by focusing on the last 10 years of qualitative and quantitative studies in the area, I describe my work on the individual, relational as well as organizational level perspective based on research conducted both in Europe and North America. The Individual perspective will focus on professional identity struggles, as well as coping with foreign career capital translation in and out of organizations. The Relational perspective will focus on mentoring relationships between migrants and local professionals as well as the value of local vs. foreign social capital in local job search. Finally, the organizational perspective will capture the ongoing debate on integration challenges vs. diversity facilitators, as well as propose an overarching model focusing on the value of high-quality connections between local and migrant workforce.
