| dc.description.abstract | This project is collaboration between KRUS (The Correctional Service of Norway
Staff Academy) and PHS (The Police Academy). The goal of the project is to
increase the understanding of what restrains the recruitment of people with
minority background to the two academies, and why it is important to increase the
number of staff-members with such a background. However, separate reports are
elaborated. The starting-point for both academies is that the portion of staff with
minority background is low.
This report points to underlying social conditions related to demography,
education and the employment marked that in general are of significance when
recruiting people with minority background. Furthermore, different perspectives
stating the reason for why recruitment to the Correctional staff ought to be
increased are accounted for. A survey on the applicants with minority background
for The Prison Academy in 2006 and a cooperative project between KRUS and
NAV Intro (The Norwegian Labour and Welfare organisation) are also described.
Experiences from other public services, like the Police Academy and the Postal
Service of Norway, are used as examples to gain insight into the practical work
concerning recruiting and increasing the diversity of staff members.
This has in sum formed a foundation for evaluating approaches and measures that
might be of relevance for The Prison Academy (KRUS) and The Correctional
Service. Which of these measures that would be the most prosperous to go forth
with, are to be clarified through separate processes. | en_US |
