Creating labour mobility opportunities, allowing refugees to move legally from first asylum countries to receiving countries based on their skills/qualifications and recipient labour market needs, have the potential to provide beneficiaries with access to a livelihood, ease migratory pressures for countries at the EU external borders and satisfy labour market demands in participating EU countries. Cedefop’s pilot project showed ways to succeed if the political will to engage in relocation exists. Above all, the project revealed the importance of networks and the necessity to further engage employers in national migration and integration strategies.
