AMCHAM Luxembourg has announced the launch of “Newcomers Orientation Courses for Third-Country Nationals” as of December 2015.
The Newcomers Orientation Courses are organised under the auspices of, and with the funding support of, the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and the Luxembourg Reception and Integration Agency / Ministry of Family and Integration (OLAI). Due to the funding specifics, these course offerings in English and Portuguese are targeted for attendance by non-EU citizens legally residing in Luxembourg. The courses are free-of-charge.
This announcement was initially made at the “New2Luxembourg” event organised by AMCHAM’s “New2lux” Committee in the evening of 15 October 2015 at Abbaye de Neumünster. Following the testimony of Dionne Abramson, a former participant of the pilot orientation courses, AMCHAM’s Chairman and CEO, Paul Schonenberg, announced that the courses will take place 12 times per year, with 6 courses in English and 6 courses in Portuguese.
Due to the AMIF and OLAI funding support, these 6-hour-long Saturday courses are offered free of charge, with ING sponsoring the lunches.
