Imagine trying to find a specialized puzzle piece from another country, but the shapes don't quite match. This work figures out why skills from places like Ukraine or Ethiopia don't always fit the jobs in Germany or Italy. It creates a guidebook to help companies and governments align training so workers can move and start working immediately without wasting their talents.
Companies face severe skill shortages and high failure rates when recruiting from abroad due to a mismatch between foreign qualifications and local job requirements.
A shortage model for recruitment and a toolkit for policy makers and training providers to align skill formation with labor market needs.
If you are a staffing agency dealing with high failure rates in migrant placements — this project developed a toolkit that matches skill supply to labor market needs across 11 countries. This ensures candidates have the exact qualifications required by the destination employer.
If you are a training center dealing with outdated curricula that don't lead to jobs — this project developed evidence on skill mismatches in 5 EU countries. You can use these insights to design courses that guarantee employment for graduates moving abroad.
If you are a large company dealing with critical talent gaps in technical roles — this project developed a shortage model for recruitment. This helps you identify the best origin countries for specific skills and how to integrate those workers sustainably.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is a research-funded project.
The project analyzes 11 countries, providing a broad base for scaling recruitment and training models across EU and non-EU borders.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific patents or licensing terms; it is presented as a research-based toolkit for policy makers and partners.
It provides policy recommendations and instruments to strengthen the regularity of migration pathways and ensure fair investments in skills.
The project is active from 2023-11-01 to 2026-11-30, with research already conducted in three work packages as of November 2024.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 10 universities and 1 research organization out of 13 partners. There is a 0% industry ratio, meaning the outputs are currently theoretical and policy-driven rather than commercially validated by private companies.
