The European Website on Integration (EWSI) launches analysis on bridging courses and qualification recognition for third-country nationals in the EU

Summary
The European Website on Integration (EWSI) published its latest analysis Bridging courses for migrants to complement qualifications acquired in third countries: approaches and practices in EU Member States to map the policies and practices that exist in Member States for the provision of bridging courses to third-country nationals (TCNs) whose skills, qualifications and experiences are not – or are only partially – recognised in the Member State in which they reside.
Building on questionnaires completed by the MPG-managed EWSI network of 27 national integration experts across the EU, the analysis identifies the specific objectives for which bridging courses are offered to TCNs, provides an overview of the availability and accessibility of these courses and relevant qualification recognition processes, highlights good practices and presents common challenges.
