Recognition of qualifications and competencies of migrants
IOM - 2013. This report looks at existing national practices for assessing, validating and recognizing formal, non-formal and informal learning of migrants on the basis of country case studies of Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The study addressed the following questions: • How are qualifications and competences recognized and formal, non-formal and informal learning of third-country nationals assessed in the country? • What are the latest developments – if any – regarding measures for skills assessment procedures, set-up of bilateral or multilateral recognition frameworks, introduction of pre-migration measures or others? • To what extent do these practices meet the needs of the (changing) labour market and of various types of migrants?
