This study aims to examine the project efforts and activities that are being carried out as a part of a larger integration project in Sweden. Furthermore, the study discusses the contributions of these project efforts and activities in relation to creating better conditions for newly arrived participants, and also how the group of participants describe the projects and activities. The empirical data has been collected through the use of four project evaluations from selected integration projects. The empirical data was analysed using a qualitative text analysis. Previous research relevant to this study, the human capital theory and the signal and filter theory have formed my theoretical framework. The two theories are used to increase understanding of the mechanisms behind immigrants 'problems in the labor market and immigrants' integration into Swedish society as well as the opportunity to improve the situation. The result of my study shows that the project efforts and activities have created better conditions for the newly arrived participants in the integration projects. The group of participants feel that the integration efforts they have participated correspond to their needs, circumstances, as well as increasing their competence when entering the labor market. The result of my study shows that integration should not be defined only by the entrance into the labor market, but also through other forms of participation in the Swedish society.
