Response to the EU Skills Portability Initiative call for evidence

This is the Centre’s response to the European Commission’s public consultation on the Skills Portability Initiative aimed at making skills more transparent and enabling skilled workers to move more easily throughout Europe.

The initiative will explore ways to:

• digitalise learning credentials
• improve the transparency of skills and qualifications
• modernise the recognition processes for regulated professions, and
• simplify procedures for recognising the qualifications and skills of non-EU nationals.

The Centre outlines its views and experiences on the barriers faced in skills portability when working and hiring across borders.
