Through regular virtual sessions, Kiron learners gain knowledge on topics relevant to entering the German job market. Webinar topics include networking, insights into the German job market, and how to utilise LinkedIn to improve their professional presence and job search success. The webinars always feature a presentation from a LinkedIn employee and some time for Q&A and networking.
In this new cycle of THRIVE, 250 women currently living in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland will receive training in Data Analytics and Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI)—fields where skilled professionals are in high demand.
In 2023, Kiron launched THRIVE, an upskilling program for women with refugee or migration experience that provides them with practical digital skills, language, and soft skills training so they can excel in their career pursuits.
In 2019, Dina Abdelhafez, Ph.D., was studying in Czechia when she visited Berlin, Germany, for a semester abroad. She fell in love with the city, started learning German, and eventually planned her move. Five years later, she had finished the THRIVE program, and we had the opportunity to learn more about her journey.
In this blog post, Katrin shares her experience as a mentor with Kiron. From the challenges she faced to the profound impact on her mentee's journey and her joy in fostering personal and professional growth, discover how mentoring goes beyond a professional duty for Katrin.
Kiron Open Higher Education is an education technology non-profit devoted to providing accessible education to forcibly displaced persons (i.e. refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people, stateless people) and certain underserved communities worldwide. Kiron offers access to education through self-paced courses on the Kiron Campus and cohort education programs with the aim for them to strengthen professional skills and improve their livelihoods. The Kiron Campus is a virtual platform where hundreds of self-paced online courses by Kiron and other partners such as Coursera, Kaya, Edraak etc. can be accessed free of charge.
You need four basic things to register and start learning with Kiron:
(1) A document that proves your status as a refugee, asylum seeker, internally displaced person, or belonging to a certain underserved community.
(2) A computer, tablet, or smartphone
(3) A stable internet connection
(4) Time to study
The Kiron campus is available worldwide. However, due to our partnership with Coursera, a US-based company that has to adhere to US government sanctions, prospective learners from some countries may not be able to access our learning program Coursera for Refugees. Learn more about the countries here.
Unfortunately, Kiron does not offer specific support for students to apply to a university and students don’t get admitted to an accredited educational institution by learning with Kiron.
All courses and offers that you find on Kiron Campus or part of our learning programs are free for Kiron verified students. If you are ever asked to pay for a Kiron service, offer or course, please do not pay but contact us via student-support@kiron.ngo.
