How We Work?

Legal boundaries set by the law is one of the main handicaps in refugee employment. Refugees under temporary protection status are only eligible to work in the city they are registered in; if they are registered in the city longer than months. United Work undertakes the responsibility to ensure that a candidate is suitable to all legal requirements even before the candidate is introduced to the company.
