Empowering Adults through Upskilling and Reskilling Pathways

The Cedefop report examines the significance of vocational training and skills development in ensuring successful labour market integration for migrants. It outlines strategies for providing adult migrants with targeted upskilling opportunities to bridge gaps in employment.

Key recommendations include:

  • Expanding vocational training to align migrant skills with labour market needs.
  • Increasing recognition of prior learning and non-formal education.
  • Addressing language barriers through workplace-specific language training.
  • Encouraging employer-driven training programmes for upskilling.

By improving access to lifelong learning, this report argues that migrants can better integrate into European economies, reducing skills mismatches and unemployment.
