The European Commission proposes new measures on skills and talent to help address critical labour shortages

The European Commission presents a series of new initiatives on skills and talent mobility in order to make the European Union a more attractive labour market for talents outside the EU. The newly-adopted measures include a new EU Talent Pool to match employers in the EU with jobseekers in third countries as well as measures to promote the recognition of qualifications and learner’s mobility. They come as key deliverables of the European Year of Skills. The following initiatives will support Member States in the global race for talent:

  • The EU Talent Pool – Making recruitment from outside the EU easier
  • Easier and faster recognition of qualifications gained outside the EU
  • Making learning mobility an opportunity for everybody
