The second workshop under the Global Skills Partnership on Migration (GSPM) brought together representatives of key international and national organisations, involved in work that deploys technology to enhance the recognition of skills and qualifications of migrant workers and refugees. It provided an opportunity to discuss recent developments and challenges of skills logbooks, skills passports and other skills portability mechanisms and explore the potential for more coordinated action using these tools along different stages of the migration cycle: recruitment, pre-departure, pre-employment, career progression and upon return.
This brief summarises the discussions and outcomes of the three sessions on 1) the skills logbook and passport initiatives or services that the five GSPM partners are offering to their constituents and members to improve skills and qualifications recognition and portability of migrant workers, 2) the scope, institutional grounding, and results (in terms of portability) of the latter and their development potential, and 3) the technological solutions that are available to document, store, verify and facilitate the cross-border recognition of skills and qualifications as well as the numerous challenges.
