The AMIL project – Alliance Multi-stakeholders for Migrants Integration and Labour – continues to strengthen the sustainable integration of Third Country Nationals into the European labour market. Through a multi-level approach involving local, regional, national, and European stakeholders, AMIL responds concretely to both the needs of people with migrant background and the requirements of organisations tasked with managing and valuing an increasingly diverse workforce.
Within this framework, CODECA, the Cypriot partner of the project, has recently implemented a series of high-impact initiatives, achieving significant results in enhancing skills and employability among migrant communities in Cyprus.
Language as a Key to Employment
On 11 November 2025, CODECA celebrated the successful completion of the first cycle of the Greek Language Programme, which began in July 2025.
The course, lasting four months for a total of 64 training hours, offered personalised learning pathways tailored to the professional needs and work contexts of the participants.
All 30 participants who regularly attended the programme obtained an A2-level Greek language certification. Beyond improving language skills, the initiative significantly contributed to increasing participants’ confidence, autonomy, and readiness to navigate the local labour market.
Soft Skills for Real Employability
At the same time, from 11 to 13 November 2025, CODECA organised a series of three-day workshops focused on soft skills development, delivered both in person and online to ensure maximum participation.
The workshops involved 35 beneficiaries, including asylum seekers, refugees, and holders of temporary or subsidiary protection.
Through practical and interactive activities, participants worked on key skills for labour market integration, addressing topics such as:
- CV writing;
- Interview techniques;
- Strategies for professional success;
- Workplace etiquette and interpersonal skills;
- Job search methods and available resources;
- Legal rights and procedures for Third Country Nationals seeking employment in Cyprus.
A Concrete and Immediate Impact
The feedback collected highlighted the high quality of the content and its immediate applicability, confirming a high level of engagement and satisfaction among participants.
These initiatives demonstrate CODECA’s commitment to providing targeted and effective support for migrant integration.
Thanks to the combination of tailored skills development, practical guidance, and legal knowledge, the AMIL project helps participants feel more confident and prepared, while also strengthening the capacity of local institutions to welcome and integrate diverse populations.
