Are you a company looking to hire refugee talent but need guidance on legal frameworks, hiring processes, and available support? UNHCR, the UN Refugee agency, an IMS associate member collaborating with partners and refugees, has developed the Refugee Employment Platform initiative (REP) to help businesses connect with forcibly displaced and stateless job seekers across Europe.
Why should businesses attend?
- Discover the new Regional Information Hub: a central resource linking all Refugee Employment Platforms (REPs) and providing specific hiring guidance for 35 European countries, including legal frameworks, recruitment processes, and key support services.
- Simplify refugee hiring: the platform offers a one-stop shop for businesses, streamlining administrative processes and connecting employers with refugee talent, training programs, and integration support.
- Learn from real success stories: Two case studies from Romania and Greece will illustrate the impact of these platforms in facilitating refugee employment and contributing to business growth.
- Access new employer resources: Be the first to explore UNHCR’s Inclusion Campaign to help companies successfully integrate refugee employees.
This initiative makes hiring refugees easier than ever.
