Meeting Labour Skill Needs While Expanding Refugee Protection

Join Fragomen Partner, Marius Tollenaere, as he participates in this online event, Meeting Labor Skill Needs While Expanding Refugee Protection, giving expert insight into key topics. Speakers will examine the barriers that prevent refugees from successfully applying for work visas and will assess initiatives and practices that aim to close this gap. They will also discuss concrete policy design changes and practical solutions to help make visa systems more accessible and predictable—benefiting not only refugee workers, but employers and all applicants alike. The webinar will mark the launch of Building Refugee-Inclusive Labour Mobility Pathways: A visa evaluation framework and accompanying scorecard that give policymakers a framework to understand how accessible different work visas are for refugee candidates and opportunities for reforms that can achieve these twin goals of addressing labour shortage and protection needs.

This webinar is organised as part of the Skills, Talent, and Empowerment through Pathways (STEP) project, which focuses on developing and expanding labour mobility channels for displaced workers, in particular those to Ireland, Italy, and Spain. STEP is co-funded by the European Union’s Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund (AMIF).
