Ibrahim Kaniza, a candidate for the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) in the upcoming Austrian parliamentary elections, is in favor of the plan, arguing that it will improve the position of people of Bosnian origin in the Austrian labor market.
He reminded that during the war, Austria received about 90,000 refugees from our country, while about 180,000 Bosnians became an integral part of Austrian society. Kaniza also said that every year the number of Bosniaks and Herzegovinas who marry Austrian citizens, or continue their studies and find work in Austria increases.
He claims that one of the first obstacles our people face on the Austrian market is getting good and fairly paid jobs. Although people leaving our country often take with them valuable skills, acquired education and work experience, this is often underestimated or recognized late by Austrian employers and society. Faced with exploitation, workers of Bosnian origin are often forced to work in poor conditions, for jobs for which they are largely overqualified and for low wages.
Ibrahim Kaniža is a Vienna city councillor who has been working for many years to defend the interests of the Austrian capital’s communities. He is trying to transfer the initiative for a job seeker mentoring program in Austria from the local to the parliamentary level. As a Social Democratic candidate, he will become the voice of the Bosnian people in the Austrian parliament.
– To achieve these goals, I advocate the introduction of a comprehensive mentoring program. This program should connect Bosnian job seekers with experienced experts and companies to support their successful integration into the workplace. This is not only about job mediation, but also about improving professional skills, boosting self-confidence and building integration networks.
The mentoring program is a key step in removing the structural barriers faced by people of origin in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It shows that as a society we are ready to take responsibility and provide everyone with the opportunity to fully develop their talents and abilities, Kaniza said.
He added that the plan would be of great benefit to Austria itself, not just to people looking for fair work.
– Supporting the integration of Bosnians in work is not a policy that concerns only one sector, but a key task for a just and united Austria. By supporting these people, we not only strengthen their personal situation, but also Austria’s social cohesion and economic strength. Let us do our utmost so that no one is left out and that every member of the workforce finds his or her rightful place in our society, concludes Ibrahim Kaniza.
