Öppet Hus is a non-profit organization that is politically and religiously independent. We work to open doors to the labor market mainly for young adults with a foreign background.Two persons employed.
• Sources of fundings are members fees, public funding from municipalty of Göteborg and contributions.
• Actions are mentorprograms, coaching, job search activities for young adults with foreign background
• Partners are labor projects, immigrants projects, city and regional authorities and private employers.
The most important way to be integrated in a new country is to achieve a job and avoid exclusion.
Our mission and objectives are to open doors to the labor market for young adults, 17 – 30 years with foreign backgrounds.
The majority of our participants have been in the country less than four years. They need coaching, support and network to achieve a job in Sweden.
Our main method is a mentor program during one year.
Our core activity is our mentoring program. We have a large network of people from member companies and personal contacts in working life who volunteer as mentors to the young people to discuss and support them in their development.
We also organise and suggest social and professional activities for our participants. With the aim of broadening their network, exchanging experiences and interacting.
