The contents of this manual is mainly based on research and results achieved by the DON'T WAIT counselling network that was co-ordinated by Integrationshaus and is intended to point out sources of more in-depth and broader information. Ideally, the book is to make it easier for counsellors of asylum seekers to embark on educational and vocational counselling by providing background information, case studies and contact addresses. The manual does not claim to be complete as the exhaustive discussion of counselling, education, recognition, traineeships and employment of asylum seekers would exceed the scope of a manual by far.

DON'T WAIT was a project implemented under EQUAL, an EU initiative combating discrimination and inequality on the labour market. It was co-funded by the European Social Fund and the Austrian Economic Ministry from the autumn of 2002 to December 2004.
