Abstract

The purpose of this study was to review literature on career management for refugees and identify the challenges refugees face in terms of crafting a successful career. The paper further examined career management and professional development programmes UNHCR offers to refugees to make recommendations to improve them in alignment with organizational and refugees’ needs. Semi-structured interviews were used in the qualitative research, the study population consisted of 18 individuals. Key findings suggest that UNHCR’s employment and education programmes are in high demand among the refugee community and they contribute to personal development and capacity building. However, by improving them and providing additional opportunities, the organization could make even better use of refugees’ skills and develop them to ensure their career growth. Moreover, the UN Refugee agency should serve as a good example for companies and organizations in employing and training forcibly displaced people.
对难民专员办事处难民就业和专业发展方案的定性研究
本研究的目的是审查有关难民职业管理的文献,并确定难民在制定成功职业方面面临的挑战。该文件进一步审查了难民专员办事处向难民提供的职业管理和专业发展方案,以便根据组织和难民的需要提出改进这些方案的建议。质性研究采用半结构化访谈法,研究人群共18人。主要调查结果表明,难民专员办事处的就业和教育方案在难民社区中需求量很大,有助于个人发展和能力建设。但是,通过改进这些技能和提供额外的机会,本组织可以更好地利用难民的技能并加以发展,以确保他们的职业发展。此外,联合国难民署应成为企业和组织雇用和培训被迫流离失所者的好榜样。
