In Antwerp, nearly 150 Ukrainian refugees are at work thanks to the Ukraine@work guidance pathway, a collaboration between the city, JobRoad and the Internationaal Comité. This is shown by an evaluation by the city, just under a year after the start of the project.

The pathway targets a vulnerable group with little or no knowledge of Dutch and without a social network in Antwerp.

By the end of the year, 400 Ukrainian refugees will have been guided.
