It was the occasion to face the problem and share experiences made on a very important issue, such as“Towards a more inclusive labour market for migrants: seizing the potential by addressing the challenges”. This the subtitle of the initiative that highlighted the importance of work as a key step in the overall integration process.
All the different aspects of this theme were discussed, touching the interest of the different stakeholders, in several workshops, such as: integration in the labour market through a stronger cooperation, capitalising on the skills of migrants, validating and developing the skills of migrants and matching refugees skills with labour market needs, promote regular employment and decent work, preventing exploitation and promoting entrepreneurship amongst migrants and supporting social economy.
The forum has gathered more than 120 civil society organizations, representatives from the private sector, European Institutions and representatives from local, regional, and National authorities. Moreover, overseas participants from Canada and USA took part to the forum too.
