📢📢📢 Talent Beyond Boundaries and Fragomen to co-chair the Global Task Force on Labour Mobility! Building labour mobility for displaced talent needs governments, employers, international organizations, civil society partners and of course displaced talent themselves to collaborate so that more skilled refugees can access employment opportunities across borders. I'm delighted that we have just that in the Labour Mobility Taskforce, and I'm looking forward to chairing with David Crawford from Fragomen over the next two years to leverage the expertise and energy of our group! In Geneva last week, the labour mobility task force committed to: 🔷 Increasing advocacy and communications on labour mobility 🔷 Growing participation of stakeholders, particularly states 🔷 Leveraging livelihoods and upskilling in refugee situations for international mobility Let's get to work!

Ten years ago, displaced talent mobility was not a policy priority or a proven model. It was an idea held by a small group of people who believed that the skills of displaced professionals deserved a place in the global conversation. Today, that idea has become a movement. Across Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Pakistan, Slovakia, Spain, Uganda, the UK, the US and beyond, thousands of displaced professionals have crossed borders in search of opportunity, rebuilding their lives and proving that talent has no boundaries. It was made possible because of employers who saw potential, governments who helped build the infrastructure, partners who showed up in challeging places, funders who believed before the results were in, and a TBB team that has given everything to this mission. Most of all, it happened because of the candidates. The professionals who registered their skills, waited, hoped, and kept going. We are proud of what ten years have built. And we are clear-eyed about what remains to be done: Millions of displaced professionals are still waiting, and the work is far from finished. Here is to the next ten years. - As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, will you help us fuel the next 10 years?

Flight 16: Spain — Building region by region Spain is one of the most dynamic chapters in TBB's growing European story. Across the Basque Country, Galicia, Madrid, Navarra, and Asturias, TBB has been working with regional governments and employer ecosystems to build displaced talent mobility pathways that respond to real and pressing workforce needs. From construction and transport to agrifood, healthcare, and industrial sectors, Spanish employers are facing skills shortages that skilled displaced professionals are ready to help address. Through regional partnerships and sector-led approaches, TBB has been generating growing employer awareness and moving candidates into active recruitment processes across the country. What makes Spain's model distinctive is its regional depth. Spain is building from the ground up, in partnership with regional governments and sector associations who understand their own workforce needs and are willing to act on them. As engagement grows and more regions explore labour mobility as a sustainable workforce solution, Spain has every opportunity to become one of Europe's leading destinations for displaced talent. - As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, will you help us fuel the next 10 years?

Flight 15: Slovakia — A promising new frontier Slovakia is one of the newest chapters in the TBB story. With one of the highest talent shortage rates in Europe, Slovakia faces a pressing need for skilled international workers across sectors from manufacturing and construction to healthcare and technology. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of displaced professionals around the world are ready, qualified, and waiting for a country willing to open a door. In 2025, we began building that bridge. Working alongside the Slovak government and through the guidance of IOM, we are laying the groundwork for a structured, legal pathway that connects displaced talent with Slovak employers who need them. Government engagement has been strong, and we have seen an appetite from employers to find sustainable, skills-based recruitment solutions. Slovakia has the opportunity to become a pioneer in Central Europe, proving that managed, ethical labour mobility can meet economic needs while giving displaced professionals a path to safety and stability. Our Slovakia Displaced Talent for Europe 2.0 (DT4E 2.0) programme is led by IOM and funded by the European Commission. – As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, will you help us fuel the next 10 years?

Flight 14: France — Building the foundations France is a country with enormous potential for displaced talent mobility, and 2025 marked the year we began turning that potential into reality. With close to 300,000 unfilled roles across sectors including hospitality, construction, and renewable energy, France faces a significant and growing need for skilled talent. Displaced professionals from around the world are ready to help fill that gap. This year marked important milestones for our French programme. We delivered our first successful employer pitches, convened new stakeholders, and moved a number of engineering candidates into active recruitment processes. The foundations are being laid, and the momentum is building. France now joins a growing group of countries committed to opening legal, structured pathways for displaced talent. With the right partnerships in place across government, employers, and civil society, France has every opportunity to become a leading destination for skilled professionals who are ready to contribute and rebuild.

Flight 12: Italy — Building pathways across industries TBB's work in Italy began in 2023. In a short space of time, it has grown into a multi-sector programme connecting displaced professionals with employers facing skills shortages across industries including IT, craftsmanship, shipbuilding, healthcare, transport, and others. 55 displaced professionals have already relocated to Italy through these pathways, bringing their skills to communities and workplaces from north to south of the country. Each placement is part of a growing case for what labour mobility can achieve here, and Italy's potential is significant, with employers across multiple sectors facing the kind of skills shortages these pathways are designed to address. As the programme grows, so does the opportunity to connect more displaced professionals with the employers who need them, and to show what's possible when the right doors are opened. – As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, will you help us fuel the next 10 years?
