Migration of African Talents through Capacity building and Hiring (MATCH) is a 36‑month initiative funded by the European Union (EU) aimed at providing highly skilled talents to private sector companies whose needs for qualified staff cannot be satisfied by the offer available on the EU labour market.

By joining MATCH, companies from Belgium, Italy, The Netherlands and Luxembourg will be supported with the sourcing and recruiting of African talents from Senegal and Nigeria, two countries offering a surplus of qualified professionals. Furthermore, the project will also facilitate the recruitment of a limited share of Nigerian and Senegalese talents already residing in the EU. Thanks to its partners on the field, MATCH can facilitate the collaboration between companies and their talents while travel restrictions are in place via a set of tailored remote working options. No need to wait to start working with your newly recruited staff.

In addition to the job placements, MATCH will also implement complementary activities such as skills development, capacity building and knowledge sharing between the participating EU and African countries.

The final project conference will be an opportunity to look at the lessons learned during the project implementation and how schemes like MATCH can contribute to shaping future labour mobility schemes between Africa and Europe. The event will take place on 17 November 2022 in Brussels, from 9:30 to 17:30, in a hybrid format.

If labour mobility schemes like MATCH and labour migration more generally are of interest to you, do not hesitate and register for the event before 10 November 2022.
