About 78,000 people from Ukraine currently live in Austria. Less than every third person has a job. This should change when it comes to the association “Everything for Ukraine” that has launched a nursing project.
“I don’t understand why Austria is looking for nurses in India or in the Philippines, although many good potential employees are already in the country,” said club president Cornelius Granig in Vienna. With the Senecura nursing company it is already possible to gradually integrate into the labor market.
Before degrees and training from Ukraine were recognized, the displaced persons could be used as assistants in nursing facilities. During the activity it is easier for you to meet the requirements, such as sufficient knowledge of German. After the successful recognition, the nursing staff have already been admitted and, for example, could continue to work in nursing graduated, said granous.
“Nursing and health training in Ukraine has a high level and the training takes a year longer after four years than with us,” said Senecura spokesperson Johannes Wallner. “Home colleagues help refugees to learn German and especially with the acquisition of the medical professional vocabulary”.
Basic care falls away with the work
The reason why many Ukrainian refugees do not work in Austria saw the panel in the regulation of basic care. The refugee coordinator of the federal government, Andreas Achrainer, spoke about an “inactivity trap”. Because when you start working, you immediately lose the right to financial support from the state. There are currently 37,000 Ukrainians in basic care in Germany. The next federal government must initiate a red-white red card for part-time employees or a parallel permanent implementation of the basic stock.
“Our goal is to accompany another 20 nurses from Ukraine on their way to a job in one of our houses in the coming months,” said Wallner. Granig also wants to expand the project to other companies. The displaced people are mainly women, children and pensioners. Men forbidden to leave because they have been taken in service.
