MATCH: Hiring African Talent
MATCH was a demand-driven circular migration project that aimed to address labour market shortages in 4 EU member states: Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. For a period of three years, this was achieved by enabling an estimated 105 migrants from Nigeria and Senegal to work for a period of six months to two years in companies within sectors where specific labour shortages had been identified.
In the Netherlands, the NABC worked in partnership with IOM the Netherlands to promote existing legal pathways for highly skilled candidates from Nigeria and Senegal to work temporarily in Dutch companies; primarily within the ICT, technology and digitalisation sectors.
