Valuing diversity: guidance for labour

market integration of migrants

TI-BA-14-003-EN-N

Europe faces an increase in the age of its natural population and a
reduction in available labour force. The retirement of a highly qualified
workforce, alongside a rise in demand for medium- and high-skilled
workers, will likely result in labour shortages in several sectors and
countries.
The movement of qualified, third-country immigrants into the European
Union is needed for economic recovery. Guidance services are to the
fore in the reception of third-country immigrants; they provide
fundamental career information and career management skills (CMS),
empowering individuals to acquire autonomy in managing their career in
a new country.
This Cedefop study analyses guidance strategies to support labour
market integration of immigrants. Its findings suggest the need for
greater engagement by employers, trade unions and immigrant
communities, as well assurance of appropriate practitioner training and
improved marketing and communication strategies.
