Short description

Volver Foundation (Stichting Volver ) and the Foundation Business Fund for Pharmacies (Stichting Bedrijfsfonds Apotheken/SBA) have taken the initiative to start this project for several reasons:
a) Higher unemployment of the non-western migrants in comparison with the Dutch autochthonous population;
b) Because of demographic development increasing need for pharmacies to hire migrant workers and lack of competences of the pharmacies to deal with this ethnic differences;
c) Increasing number of migrant-clients of the pharmacies. This asks intercultural competence for the workers in the pharmacy;
d) Increasing number of migrant students inside the education for pharmacy-assistants;
e) Low number of migrant-men working in the pharmacies and attending the school for pharmacy-assistant;
f) Insufficient competence of migrant-students and workers to work in a dominant white pharmacy.
