8. Non-governmental non-profit organizations working with migrants

Non-profit non-governmental organizations working with migrants provide foreigners general support and help their integration into Czech society. You can consult them in the first place for free legal and social counseling, psycho-social assistance, internet access, Czech language courses or courses in socio-cultural orientation, and many other low-threshold services, including being accompanied when dealing with the authorities.

In employment matters, these organizations will help you when looking for a job, approaching employers, drafting your CV and cover letter, preparing for a job interview, processing documentation for obtaining a work permit and residence permit, as well as with recovering outstanding wages or other conflicts or complex situations connected to your work (e.g. termination of employment, safety at work, work-related injuries, motherhood and parenting issues at work, etc.).
