What is the Regional Refugee Employment Platform?

The Regional Refugee Employment Platform (REP) serves as an entry point to enhance decent work prospects for refugees of all nationalities throughout Europe. Its functions streamline the job placement process itself, while simultaneously linking refugees, employers and integration actors with employment support, skills training, and wraparound services essential to maximizing job prospects, preparing refugees for the labour market in their host countries, and supporting companies to create sustainable employment. The Regional REP also links to National REPs where refugees and employers can connect at the local level.

Below you can find dedicated information for businesses, refugees, practitioners and service providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the platforms link me with international work opportunities?

The main aim of the platforms is to support refugees to find work only within their current country of asylum. As such, each country platform advertises only national vacancies.

Who is eligible to apply for vacancies on the platforms?

Refugees of all nationalities. This includes temporary protection holders, beneficiaries of international protection, and asylum seekers with work rights. More specific legal statuses are detailed on the national employment platforms. 

Can the platforms provide support with work visa applications to other countries?

No. The purpose of the platforms is to assist refugees to locate the best possible work opportunity in the country where they have been granted refugee status.
