During a round table on how employers in Luxembourg can hire refugees yesterdy, national employment agency, ADEM, highlighted that supports and subsidies have been put in place to facilitate hiring of asylum seekers.
“Recently, we have created a new unit within our employer department, which is exclusively dedicated to beneficiaries of international protection, with two agents who are responsible for helping companies in their hiring process”, said Isabelle Schlesser, director of ADEM.
Beyond this service, Laurent Peusch, deputy head of the employers' department of ADEM, pointed out that there are subsidies and measures available to employers when they wish to hire a BPI.
"The employment training contract, the vocational training course, the reinsertion-employment contract and the hiring aid for the long-term unemployed are all aids that facilitate the recruitment of companies. Not forgetting that ADEM offers a wide range of training courses such as pool training organised according to the demand of a specific sector of the labor market or tailor-made training exclusively developed for the specific needs of companies with (re-)insertion of jobseekers”, he said.
