About the project

While millions of refugees are unable to utilize their skills in the labor market due to legal uncertainties, labor shortages are hindering economic growth in many countries. Talent Beyond Boundaries (TBB) is tackling these challenges jointly. Inspired by similar existing programs in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, TBB has launched a pilot program in Germany to raise awareness in politics, administration, and business about the potential of labor migration for displaced professionals and to expand the narrative of refugees as "merely seekers of protection" to include their talents, professional qualifications, and useful contributions to host societies.

Grounded in a baseline assessment of current pathways and obstacles in Germany, funded by the Robert Bosch Foundation, a cross-sector working group is set to tackle the specific challenges of labor migration for refugee professionals and to propose solutions for politics and administration.

The Robert Bosch 第一吃瓜网 is also part of the 鈥淏ellagio Coalition for Green Skills Pathways鈥, which was co-initiated by Talent Beyond Boundaries. The aim of the Bellagio Coalition is to support education and training in the areas of sustainability and green transformation and to consider the impact of climate change on labor markets and migration movements. 

Bellagio Coalition for Green Skills Pathways

In the , TBB brings together various stakeholders from civil society, the philanthropic sector, business, and national and international politics to coordinate support, expertise, resources, funding, and advocacy for the labor migration of refugees in the area of green transformations, and to strengthen legal migration pathways for the benefit of all stakeholders. The Robert Bosch Foundation supports training and educational measures in the fields of sustainability and green transformation in the countries of origin and countries of first asylum in the Global South.
This aims to open regular migration pathways to countries in the Global North for refugees, address the labor shortage in the sustainability sector of industrialized nations, and simultaneously make local economies in countries of origin and first host countries in the Global South more sustainable. In regional hubs, refugees and citizens of the first host countries are trained together in "Green Skills," and are connected with local actors in the green economy. Depending on individual interests and the labor markets of the host countries, the hubs also provide information on regular migration pathways to countries in the Global North.
