MAGNET II MAGNET II is a project implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) with the support of the Bureau of Migration and Displacement (BMD) and in coordination with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The objective is to foster long-term socioeconomic reintegration of Iraqi voluntary returnees by linking them to potential employers in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and vice versa. Rasool returned to Sulaymaniyah in 2012. He found a job as an oil drill operator in less than three months through the MAGNET project. The company that hired him provided on the job training as he had no previous experience in this line of work. Primarily funded by the European Return Fund (Community Actions 2013), MAGNET II aims at strengthening the links between IOM and the private sector in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in order to facilitate the job referral of voluntary returnees and to increase the number of available job offers.
