Why does it matter? Three groups find it par­tic­u­larly hard to get a chance on the Polish labour market: for­eign­ers who, des­pite the edu­ca­tion and work ex­per­i­ence gained in their home coun­tries, cannot find work that matches their qual­i­fic­a­tions - often be­cause of the lan­guage bar­rier, the lack of re­cog­ni­tion of their dip­lo­mas, or simply be­cause no one is will­ing to train them; older people, whose many years of pro­fes­sional ex­per­i­ence are often ig­nored by em­ploy­ers look­ing for younger can­did­ates, even though it is pre­cisely their know­ledge and pre­ci­sion that are in­valu­able to busi­nesses; and young people leav­ing the foster care system (chil­dren's homes, foster fam­il­ies), who start adult life without family sup­port and without the first work ex­per­i­ence they need to live in­de­pend­ently.

Fun­dacja Finaks gives these people what they need most: a first chance, a pa­tient in­tro­duc­tion to the pro­fes­sion and a work­ing en­vir­on­ment in which lan­guage dif­fer­ences, age or a dif­fi­cult life story are not an obstacle but a start­ing point for build­ing a stable, in­de­pend­ent future.
