Finding a path into employment can be a real challenge for beneficiaries of international protection (BIPs). They need to understand the Luxembourg labour market, identify their skills, develop their career plans and prepare to enter the workplace.
The Parcours BPI service offers NOVA Programme, a three-month support programme that complements existing initiatives and helps beneficiaries develop the skills and knowledge they need to improve their prospects of entering the labour market.
Our service is intended for beneficiaries of international protection (BIPs)* who are far removed from entering the primary labour market. Participants are identified and referred to the programme by ONIS. It is therefore not possible to register directly or to be referred through another professional.

The programme runs for 12 weeks, with 24 hours of training per week. Attendance is mandatory throughout the entire programme. Participants attend eight 3-hour sessions each week.
The training is based on an interactive and participatory approach, combining:
