abstract: 'Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of ``Korta
Vagen{''''} (The short cut), a targeted language program for qualified
migrants in Sweden, in self-maintaining, well-being and perspectives for
socio-economic integration for foreigners with academic diploma.
Design/methodology/approach - In-class observations, individual
semi-structured interviews, focus-group interviews and written essays
were used for data collection. A thematic analysis was applied as a
method of data analysis. Amartya Sen''s capability approach constituted a
theoretical framework of the research discussion.
Findings - Korta Vagen provides various resources for the participants,
some of which (language training and internship) can become real
advantages for employment. Others (IT, interview training and CV
writing) are less translatable into concrete outcomes. The study
suggests that satisfaction with the program is modulated by commitment
to one''s professional identity, initial language proficiency, scope of
cultural knowledge, the participants'' goals and the flexibility of the
training offered. The acculturation frame of the program does not
necessarily correspond with the objective need of many participants for
quick entry into the labor market.
Originality/value - Insights into the social-psychological aspects of
targeted language training as a measure for socio-economic integration
can serve to enhance educational and institutional policies and
professional practice.'
