SINAREM / OportuGuate is a system and application developed by IOM Guatemala that connects returnee migrants in search of work with potential private sector employers, as well as opportunities for entrepreneurship and skills certification. The instrument aims to facilitate the economic and labor reintegration of migrants returned by governments by speeding up the search for employment, entrepreneurship and certification and disseminating these opportunities among migrant groups.
