SORA advises advocacy groups, public administration as well as labour market institutions on the basis of sociological studies and analyses.

SORA policy consulting

• develops reliable foundations for decision-making,
• improves target group orientation and the effectiveness of measures,
• supports the planning and managing of political programmes.

The consulting process is based on combining applied research with the knowledge of policy-making. During the course of consulting processes SORA provides foundations for decision-making based on research results. Methods such as SWOT analyses, scenario techniques or best practice analyses are used where empirical evidence interfaces with consulting.

Priority areas:

• Exclusion and discrimination on the labour market

• Job information and professional orientation
• Employment suitable for acquired education
• Qualification requirements
• Women’s employment
