Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to map the current situation in Cyprus regarding migrants’ integration in education and in the labour market and explore the corresponding challenges that they face, as well as some possible solutions to address those challenges. In parallel, the gaps in knowledge and competences of people who work with migrants—such as counsellors, social workers, psychologists and VET trainers—are analysed, while some effective tools and methods are mentioned. The chapter starts with an analysis of the current situation of migration in Cyprus, including some general facts about the migrant population’s composition, educational background and integration in the local educational system, labour market and society at large. The analysis also includes some relevant laws regarding refugees’ and migrants’ rights and recognition of their certificates, as well as some corresponding policies and practices. Furthermore, the chapter has a specific focus on gender, given the fact that women—especially those with a migratory background—are under-represented in the Cypriot educational system and labour market. Finally, some interesting facts regarding children and youth with a migratory background are presented, followed by some interesting suggestions about effective counselling and support.
