Our Strategy to Scale Displaced Talent Mobility
I’m excited to launch TBB’s Global Strategy 2023-2027, detailing how over the next five years we will help thousands of displaced people to benefit from skilled migration each year, while establishing the foundations for the sustainable growth of this solution beyond 2027.
We know displaced people have the skills that employers desperately need, and that governments can make practical adjustments to their skilled migration schemes to make them accessible to refugees.
With more than 100 million forcibly displaced people in the world today, scaling this solution is both a moral imperative and an incredible opportunity to unleash potential.
Hear more about our strategy from Samim, TBB Alumni and Climate Change Consultant from Afghanistan who is now working in Australia, where he lives with his family.
Our goals
Over the next five years we will:
Open skilled immigration pathways for refugees in 27 countries - by working with governments to address barriers in their skilled admissions programs that block refugees and other forcibly displaced people, any by designing creative solutions to these barriers.
Enable more than 15,000 displaced people to migrate on labour mobility pathways - by scaling up job matching and utilizing assistance provided by a range of organizations mobilized to support displaced talent mobility.
Mobilize the private sector to drive this solution - by supporting hundreds of businesses globally to adjust their international talent acquisition strategies to include forcibly displaced people and support the skilled visas of refugees on a regular basis.
Ensure the global refugee and migration system embraces displaced talent mobility - We will support governments and global multilateral institutions to establish policy positions and agreements that support the sustained expansion of labour mobility pathways for refugees over decades to come.
Sustain this solution through technology and partnerships - by ensuring refugees, employers and organisations engaged in labour pathways are all visible to one another and connected through shared use of technology and data, enabling a vibrant marketplace where job matches can efficiently scale.
Now is a critical time for TBB to translate a significant growth in momentum for displaced talent mobility programs into demonstrative scaling of results for displaced people. We have already had tremendous impact, but we will not plateau. We must stay true to our mission of being a catalyst for global systems change and ensure that TBB as an organization is truly accountable to the people we are here to serve.
We can’t do it alone, and we are so grateful for the continued support of our valued partners, donors, and supporters.
Thank you!
Steph.
