Author: MEET EQUAL Transnational Partnership
Year: 2007
In recent times the EU has experienced unprecedented levels of migration. Many migrants arrive desperate to put their skills into use but find themselves either unemployed or in low-skilled work. Whilst the EU has well documented skills gaps in high-skilled, seasonal and low-skilled positions, unemployment levels across Europe are twice as high for migrants than the host population. It was with the challenge of linking migrants to skills gaps that the partners in the MEET ‘recognising skills and qualifications’ working group set about their task. The overall aim of the group was to develop approaches to recognising the worth of migrants by creating systems to recognise their skills and qualifications.
