In the context of increased international migration, the importance of education and training and a global governance of migration is widely acknowledged in academic and international development debates.

This discussion paper looks at the relationship between migration and technical and vocational education and training (TVET), distinguishing between between forced, labour and environmental migration.

The discussion paper was prepared in the context of UNESCO-UNEVOC's Bridging Innovation and Learning in TVET (BILT) project. The BILT project seeks to support TVET institutions in addressing the transformation challenges facing TVET systems today, and to explore innovative approaches and new practices. The BILT Project is carried out in collaboration with the UNEVOC Network, coordinated by UNESCO-UNEVOC with the support of the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) and sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
