“EU Skills Profile Tool for Third-Country Nationals”
Skills Profile Tool was released to ensure the recognition of skills and education of non-EU nationals by organisations that work with migrants. It is a web editor that works in off/online modes and allows non-EU individuals present their qualifications, skills, and experiences in a way to be understood by their job and education providers or institutions working with migrants across EU. The integration of non-EU nationals into the labour market is crucial and must be constantly re-thought and innovated to fit the ever-changing political situation.

This reassuring statement helps to re-think interesting statistics: only 16 % of Americans think that fours years of university education prepares people for the high-paid job in the future. The report can be accessed here.
The article suggests that Millennial Bloggers are based all over the world and “they are innovators in entrepreneurship, journalism, education, entertainment, and academic scholarship.”
