The contribution of Third Country Nationals to the twin transition in the EU
Over the past decade, Third Country Nationals (TCNs) have made important contributions to the twin transition in the EU by filling skills gaps and labour needs. In digital occupations, a rapidly growing number of highly educated TCNs have migrated to Europe for further education and training or following a job offer. On the other hand, skills gaps in green occupations were filled by TCNs whose reasons for migration are more diverse, as are their education levels. Addressing future skills gaps resulting from the twin transition will make it necessary for the EU to create supportive policies and programmes to fully harness the potential of TCNs. These include measures to remain attractive in the global race for talent but also to define talent in terms of relevance to the labour market rather than by narrowly focusing on high levels of educational achievement.
