Employment-related mobility and migration, and vocational education and training
Publication metadata
Following the public attention received by regional imbalances in the European labour market in these times of crisis, and the importance of labour mobility in redressing them, this report focuses on the difficulties migrant workers face in making their way in the destination country labour market. Reviewing the ReferNet research reports from various European countries on the problems migrant workers face, this report reflects on whether VET provision could offer a viable solution to them and, if so, how. The answer offered here is a tentative 'yes'. When difficulties in the labour market can be traced back to a shortage of social capital (the network of contacts that usually help individuals to move proficiently in a social environment) VET-providing institutions - involving social partners and local communities in the design of their educational offer - can effectively fill the gap for foreign workers.
