Short profile
Carina Hartmann-Dilzer has been a research assistant in the New Self-Employment team at the Institute for SME Research since April 2017. Carina Hartmann acts as a consultant in the selection process of start-up consultancies. Furthermore, she is currently working on the start-up-relevant resources of people with a refugee biography. In doing so, she draws on quantitative data sets from previous refugee cohorts as well as qualitative interviews that she conducts with key players from the areas of the labor market, education, integration and business start-ups. She is particularly interested in the questions of which alternative paths of labor market integration are possible for refugees and which types of (human) capital migrants rely on in their career choices in the host country.
Carina Hartmann-Dilzer studied Business Romance Studies at the University of Kassel and at the Universidad de las Américas Puebla in Mexico. She then completed her Master's degree in Culture and Economics at the University of Mannheim with a focus on Small and Medium Sized Companies and Entrepreneurship with stays abroad in Spain and Brazil.
