The task of the Accommodation Centre for Asylum Seekers (Vao Centre and V\u00e4geva Centre) is to arrange for the accommodation in local authorities of those receiving their services and international protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centre arranges accommodation for asylum seekers\nas well as other services that help to support and maintain the individual\u2019s\nability to cope during international protection procedures. We help them adjust\nto life in Estonia through various activities, to learn the Estonian language\nand traditions, to find schools and jobs and to communicate with public\ninstitutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the centre, the option of learning Estonian three\ntimes a week is offered and experience shows that those who participate in the\nlessons are able to communicate in Estonian within just 3-4 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four times a month, an \u2018Adjustment Caf\u00e9\u2019 is held at\nthe centres. This is a programme which provides individuals who have arrived\nfrom abroad with knowledge about such areas as local traditions, culture,\nlearning and climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An employment mentor provides the residents with\nknowledge of the job market in Estonia and information on how to find a\nsuitable job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Vao, the service is available for up to 70 asylum seekers at a time. In V\u00e4geva, up to 30 asylum seekers can use the service at one time. Under exceptional circumstances, we are able to provide accommodation for a larger number of people with 24 hours\u2019 notice. We are also able to provide transportation for asylum seekers moving between homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AS Hoolekandeteenused provides the accommodation centre service on the basis of a contract entered into with the Social Insurance Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
