Hortense spoke about her role in the Economic Mobility Pathways Project (EMPP) in Nairobi, Kenya. The EMPP is a one-year pilot project, run jointly by RefugePoint and <a href=\"https:\/\/talentbeyondboundaries.org\/\"><strong>Talent Beyond Boundaries (TBB)<\/strong><\/a> under the direction of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and in cooperation with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). The project aims to initially help a small number of refugees in high-demand occupations to access work-based visas to Canada, connecting them to Canadian employers and putting them on a path to permanent residency. As <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/gta\/2018\/10\/12\/pilot-project-aims-to-bring-refugees-to-canada-as-skilled-workers.html\">this article<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about the project in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Star <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">points out, \u201cThe majority of the refugees in the talent pool have backgrounds in engineering, healthcare, IT, teaching, accounting and university education.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The EMPP aims to document the barriers that displaced people face when trying to access labor mobility to Canada. It is expected that the outcomes of the project will be used to inform policy considerations in Canada and other countries wishing to pilot similar projects, so that ultimately larger numbers of refugees may benefit in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hortense spoke about the need for innovative complementary pathways to traditional resettlement and highlighted the talent pool that exists among displaced populations in Kenya. She also addressed barriers that refugees face to accessing the existing economic migration programs, as well as some of the practical steps that states and partner NGOs will need to consider when undertaking such a project. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The panel, hosted by TBB, was part of a side event called, \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encouraging Regular Migration by Linking Displaced Populations to Global Skills Gaps<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019.
