IKEA and the inclusion of refugees at work: an international assessment
In this collaboration between IKEA, the University of Sydney and Stockholm School of Economics, the ambition is to assess the ongoing program ‘Skills for Employment’ that targets the labour market integration of refugees across the world.
This collaborative project investigates in what way INGKA’s refugee program aimed at the social and economic integration of refugees into IKEA’s workforce can create value for the individual, the company, and the wider society. In this first phase of the research, the program ‘skills for Employment’ is being assessed across 14 countries in Europe, North American and Australia.
