Abstract	"Labour market integration in Germany is strongly linked to a vocational qualification in a training occupation or a university degree. For the participation of young refugees, labour market integration is important, but it is often just as difficult to get access to the formalized German VET system as to pass the examinations to enter into a trade. Failing to successfully enter the labour market is mostly justified with a lack of language skills, but training companies also suggest that newcomers lack social and (inter)cultural capital. This article shows how a mediation training for instructors helps refugee trainees learn the social competencies needed to gain labour market entry in Germany. Embedded in the overall context of dual vocational training (dual VET), the article first provides an overview of its system and explains the situation of refugees opted for a training. The project is then presented with the initial results." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
