Integration: New Skills Profile tool to help non-EU nationals enter the labour market

On the occasion of the United Nations' World Refugee Day, the European Commission released on the 20 June 2017 the EU Skills Profile Tool for Third-Country Nationals.

It is an off– and online web editor that will make it possible for non-EU nationals to present their skills, qualifications, and experiences in a way that is well understood by employers, education and training providers and organisations working with migrants across the whole European Union.
