Young people from families with a history of migration are disproportionately likely to not complete vocational education and training. An initiative adopted by the Berlin Senate has helped to bring about a significant rise in the proportion of such people who are undergoing training in the public sector. This article presents the “Berlin needs you!” concept. It also shows the barriers to access to training that were identified within the scope of the initiative and how new access points to vocational education and training are being piloted.
