Integration through work: Like a Ukrainian in Rosenberg, gains foot
in Eastern Germany, more precisely in Rosenberg, a new program called "Job-Turbo" has positive effects on the local labor market and the integration of refugees. This is done as part of a nationwide initiative that was launched in October 2023 to quickly integrate people who fled from crisis areas.
One of the most impressive examples is Nataliia Pakhomenkova, a 50-year-old refugee Ukrainian who has been working in a care facility since summer 2023. With her basic knowledge of German, which she acquired through a language course, and her motivation she convinced the team and the residents. Once working as a teacher, she ventured into the nursing field and now fulfills an important role in the living environment.
The way to integration
Nataliia fled to Germany with her three daughters in March 2022 after her home village in Ukraine fell. While a daughter of her found a job in northern Germany, the youngest went to the school in Rosenberg and the oldest daughter continued her medical studies. Nataliia herself attended a language course because she wanted to learn the German language as soon as possible to find a connection. "I just wanted to try it. I've always worked with people and now with seniors, which I really like," she says.
Despite her initial uncertainties, she managed to familiarize herself in the care facility by using translation programs and non -verbal communication. Their commitment and humanity convinced the facility manager, Isabell Offenbach, as well as the colleagues and residents of the facility. Offenbach emphasizes that the key to success lies in communication: "Human skills are the most important in this profession."The integration of refugees into the nursing profession is promoted by special language courses. These courses are tailored to the professional requirements and help employees to improve their knowledge of German in relevant areas such as nutrition, body care or medication. By offering such courses, it shows that further training and integration go hand in hand.
new momentum in the care industry
Furniture manager Offenbach encourages potential employers to be brave and also to hire people with expandable language skills. "Of course it is difficult at the beginning, but the motivation and the commitment of these employees are exceptional," she says. The experience in your facility shows that the integration of refugees is not only possible, but can also be a valuable enrichment for the care industry.
With this initiative, the Ostalb district not only wants to combat the shortage of skilled workers in the nursing sector, but also show that society can benefit from the diversity of people. Employers who are interested in these developments can find out more at the Employment Agency or the Job Center Ostalbkreis to receive further information and support.
In conclusion, it can be said that the example of Nataliia Pakhomenkova in Rosenberg is a sign of the strength of the human connection and the potential of people in difficult situations. While she improves her language skills every day, she also helps to promote the well -being of the residents in her new home.
