To strengthen decent work prospects for forcibly displaced and stateless people throughout Europe, UNHCR in collaboration with partners and refugees has developed the Regional Information Hub for Refugee Employment in Europe. The platform is a digital tool connecting companies with refugee job seekers, streamlining the job placement process by inking refugees and stateless people, employers and integration actors with employment support, skills training, and wrap-around services essential to maximizing job prospects. Refugee Employment Platforms are currently active in eight countries in Europe.
