Congratulations to our colleagues from IOM UK, @TBBforTalent and @fragomen for convening this gathering of DT4E alumni - a wonderful occasion to share individual experiences and celebrate the achievements of this EU-funded programme!
Displaced talent mobility is a win-win solution that addresses skills shortages while protecting people on the move.
Today we celebrate professionals who have made the UK their home through the #DT4E project, funded by the EU.
