  1. REALISE GUIDELINES FOR: Creating Panels of Local Key Stakeholders (PLS)&Undertaking Local Diagnoses of Severity and Cause (LD) Project co-funded under the European Integration Fund

  2. 3 Expected Results • Institutional development and Improved governance • Capacity building • Increased knowledge ––– • PLS and Local diagnosesof severity and cause are the cornerstone • PLS members are key information providers

  3. 3 Essential Steps • Create a Panel of Local key Stakeholders • Carry out a local diagnosis of severity and cause of over-qualification • Determine and actions Heterogeneous

  4. STEP 1: CREATING PANELS OF LOCAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS (PLS)

  5. STEP 1: CREATING PANELS OF LOCAL KEY STAKEHOLDERS (PLS) • What is the purpose of the PLS? • Who is in the PLS? • How to identify who needs to be involved (key stakeholders)? • How to get the desired participants to cooperate? • How to run a PLS? • What’s the available budget and how to use it? 

  6. 1 Purpose of the PLS • Better conceive policy and actions • Obtain the support (‘buy in’) • PLS members obtain more support outside of the Panel

  7. Members Participate in: • Local diagnosis • Developing pilot • Developing long-term strategies • Final EU parliament event

  8. 2 Who is in the PLS? • Business • Public • Third sectors (NGOs, associations) • Representatives of the target groups • Make-up of the local PLS is where the local coordinators have a key role (this means YOU)

  9. 3 How to identify who needs to be involved (key stakeholders)? a) Understand how they fit in with the problem b) Prioritise them • Technique? See matrices Note: fluid process

  10. 4 How to get the desired participants to cooperate: • Generic short-term and long-term arguments as to the benefits of participating in a European project such as REALISE – see examples re benefits to organisation and to individual • Personalised arguments, you would know

  11. 5 How to run a PLS • Members: • Participate effectively • Do not lose their interest • See purpose • Ownership • Inner core • Reach out • Bureaucracy  no thanks Consult further with Thematic Coordinator

  12. 6 Budget and how to use it? • 5000 for activities and sundry (transport, travel, lobbying…) • 4925 for overhead (photocopies, phone calls…)

  13. STEP 2: UNDERTAKING LOCAL DIAGNOSES OF SEVERITY AND CAUSE (LD)

  14. STEP 2: UNDERTAKING LOCAL DIAGNOSES OF SEVERITY AND CAUSE (LD) • What is the purpose of the LD? • Which data do you need to collect? • How to collect this data? • Where to collect this data?

  15. 1 Purpose of the LD? • Not academic research – pragmatic • Answer 2 key questions: • Severity • Cause

  16. 2 Which data do you need to collect? • General labour market situation: • Pertinenteconomic information • Key characteristics of local labour market • General underemployment figures and qualitative observations

  17. 2 Which data do you need to collect? • Specific to immigrants: • Profile of your immigrants • Underemployment situation • Explanation: Why does this happen?

  18. 2 Which data do you need to collect? c) Focus in project: • Which immigrant group(s) will you focus on in REALISE and Why? • At this point, what are your goals in doing this? – • Women and youths of particular interest, but work on what makes most sense where you are. • Some may already have a clear definition of which groups they wish to focus on. Data collection and questionnaires should be suitably adapted.

  19. 3 How to collect this data? • Desk-based – quantitative and qualitative data • Field research – individual interviews and focus groups (group interviews)

  20. 4 Where to collect this data? • Desk: official stats, chambers of commerce, employment offices, municipal ec dept, institutional reports, surveys, academic research, reports by migrants’ organisations and NGOs, your own reports, etc

  21. 4 Where to collect this data? • Field: • Individual interviews – qualified migrants (minimum 10 interviews), PLS members and key stakeholders not in PLS. Face-to-face or telephone. Not exceed 1h30mn. • Focus groups – PLS altogether or sub-groups. Minimum one focus group with PLS. Not exceed 3 hours.

  22. STEP 3: DISCUSSING FINDINGS WITH PLS AND PLANNING FURTHER

  23. STEP 3: DISCUSSING FINDINGS WITH PLS AND PLANNING FURTHER • Present to and discuss PLS the local diagnosis findings: • determine with them which immigrant groups you will focus on in REALISE and • design/negotiate actions to be carried out to address the over-qualification issue. • 1st Transnational Workshop – members of the PLS participate – will develop this step. • Local coordinators have support of Thematic coordinator
