Bee My Job
The project addresses refugees' inclusion
Bee My Job tackles inequalities in accessing wage earning employment for refugees in Italy, by providing professional training and facilitated access to dignified job opportunities in the beekeeping and agricultural field. Supported by UNHCR and Ashoka, together with a wide range of public and private partners, it has trained 170 refugees and promotes over 106 internships, all over Italy. It has been awarded important prices at the national and european level, being object of Universities researches and mass media. Its' scaling up is ongoing through the model of Social Franchising.
Displaced people are given a wonderful opportunity to find a job in beekeeping and agriculture. Their professional training gives them the sense of being useful. They are trained and given a work placement – no matter what their background. It is a superb way of integrating immigrants and providing them with ways of becoming part of society.
