Helping 10 000 refugees get a job in 2016
Why I want to help 10 000 refugees get jobs?
This post is part 1/5 of a series from the founders of Migrant Hire, where each of us explain why we personally want to help 10 000…refugees get jobs. ¶ My co-founders’ posts: ¶ In September of 2015 I was in Budapest for a weekend trip. This was shortly after hundreds of refugees were being blocked in a train station in Budapest. I decided to visit the train station, where there were still refugees present. They were then allowed to leave the country, but the situation was still pretty chaotic. I was curious to talk to some refugees and hear their story, but I felt too awkward and couldn’t bring myself around to doing it.

Instead, the events have reached my life; now I have refugees both among my friends, and as co-founders. ¶ I think integration is crucial in turning the crisis into an opportunity , and understanding that in order to solve our most pressing issues, humanity needs to unite as a whole.
