On May 21, 2024, the eagerly awaited final conference of the Think Tank Transnational Skills Partnerships will take place at Spreespeicher in Berlin. The focus is on sustainable recruitment of skilled workers in an international context, considering the interests of immigration countries, countries of origin, and migrants.

A central theme is the design of a national alliance for fair recruitment. This alliance aims to strengthen government initiatives and promote private recruitment, emphasizing ethical and international standards.

Agenda Highlights (full agenda here):

• Opening (09:30 – 09:40) by Prof. Dr. Daniela Schwarzer, Bertelsmann Stiftung
