Facilitating the Recognition of Migrant Workers’ Skills

The ILO guide highlights challenges faced by migrant workers in getting their qualifications recognised. It discusses:

• Legal barriers to skill recognition and employment.
• Accreditation processes for foreign qualifications.
• Best practices for governments to streamline recognition frameworks.

The document recommends policies that facilitate faster credentialing processes and support programmes to bridge skills gaps through short-term courses. By implementing fair skills recognition practices, countries can maximise the economic contributions of migrant workers while ensuring they are not underemployed in roles beneath their skill levels.
