Just 28% had personalized integration plans, with many councils delaying or failing to start at all by 2025. Those who did pass mostly hit B1/B2 levels, with the education track showing the highest completion rate at 60%. Yet, only 22% were employed two years later, rising slightly to 26% for B1 track participants, while family and other migrants lagged behind at 36%. The system’s complexity—language, work, and support structures—remains a major hurdle for newcomers. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
