First step in B-solutions project completed
B-Solutions Project “Roadmap and factsheet for the recognition of qualifications for highly demanded professions”
A first document has been published as part of the B-Solutions project “Roadmap and factsheet for the recognition of qualifications for highly demanded professions”. The goal of the project, submitted by the Province of Limburg (NL) as lead applicant and carried out by the Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross border cooperation and Mobility / ITEM, is to develop roadmaps and factsheets aimed at boosting cross-border mobility and employability by improving recognition. In particular, the project focuses on how recognition takes place for selected highly demanded regulated professions.
The present publication features the final selection of professions for which roadmaps and factsheets are to be developed. The selection of professions was made after analysis of national and regional employment services’ initiatives identifying highly demanded professions in the Dutch border region comprising the area of the Netherlands, Belgium, North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony.
Early findings and methods employed in the project are due to be presented during a workshop jointly organised by ITEM and the Benelux on the 15th November 2018 in Brussels.
The project “Roadmap and factsheet for the recognition of qualifications for highly demanded professions” is financed by the European Union.
