\u201cAxfoundation built an innovative integration initiative focusing on lowering the threshold for participation: the participants contribute one hour of their time to talk about the industry and the \u2018door opener\u2019 identifies people in their network that they can connect the new Swede with. These meetings help broaden professional networks and give the participant an informal validation of their qualifications. This is an hour that has proven to make a big difference to an individual\u2019s ability to integrate into the Swedish labor market.\u201d \u2013 Amelie Silfverstolpe, Sustainable Innovation Lead, Axfoundation and former director \u00d6ppnaD\u00f6rren<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
