Labour Mobility

LABOUR MOBILITY HOTLINE: 0852 1002 9512 

Labour mobility opportunities, also known as employment pathways, are safe and regulated avenues that allow qualified refugees to move to another country to work.  The third country will provide temporary or permanent residence to refugees (and often their immediate family members) who accept jobs in those countries. Through labor mobility, employers are able to find qualified applicants to fill vacant positions and refugees are able to apply their skills and experience to become economically independent and to realize a solution.  

Individuals living all over the world are applying for these jobs.  As a result, they are highly competitive.  Refugees who seek to gain education, skills, and experience while in Indonesia will be able to strengthen their profiles and will have a better chance to become successful candidates. 

Two organizations – Talent Beyond Boundaries and TalentLift (Canada) – provide opportunities for refugees to create online work experience profiles and apply for jobs in third countries.  

UNHCR partners with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) to improve opportunities for refugees in Indonesia to access labor mobility programs.  If you would like to obtain more information, please contact CRS:

TBB’s Talent Catalog was created to allow refugees to share your profile and to learn of current job opportunities.  You can access the catalog and additional information on the TBB program here.
