Summary: 

The Municipality of La Pintana, Chile, has kick-started a project working with local businesses called ‘Migra Empresas’, which seeks to bring job offers to migrants and where the city administration provides legal and technical assistance to companies.  This program is part of La Pintana's commitment to work in five areas to make the commune an intercultural territory, inclusive and free of discrimination:

1- Institutionality that addresses the migrant reality.

2- Education and training plans for municipal personnel in this matter.

3- Inclusive and non-discriminatory local public policies and information.

4- Programs to promote regular migration.

5- Support for association and participation of migrant communities in the community.

It is intended to export this practice to other municipalities in Chile.
