This is supplemented by the job preparation program “Chance plus” for young people who need support in accessing the labor market.

• We support refugees with their integration into Germany: the Social and Cultural Integration project (Soziale und kulturelle Integration; SUKI), in collaboration with the Railway and Transport Workers Union (Eisenbahn- und Verkehrsgewerkschaft; EVG), Stiftungsfamilie BSW&
  EWH (foundation partnership), and the social security fund, offers inte­­gration-related services to supplement professional qualification programs for people with a refugee and migration background.
