At the heart of the project is the development of the Link4Skills Navigator, guided by the key principle of ensuring fair skill flows between sending and receiving countries.
Intelligent assistance
The Link4Skills Navigator will serve as the main user interface for a knowledge based expert system (KBES) which will support decision-making processes related to skill shortages, skill development, and the migration of skilled workers.

More than a tool
This innovative approach aims not only to meet immediate skill needs but also to ensure equitable, long-term development and cooperation between origin and destination regions. Through its comprehensive and collaborative approach, Link4Skills aspires to make a significant contribution to global skill partnerships, enhancing the resilience of societies and economies against current and future challenges.
Success through cooperation
This tool is being co-designed with stakeholders to facilitate fair skill flows between sending and receiving countries, based on the principle of fairness and mutual benefit. The Link4Skills Navigator can be used in analysing, mapping, and forecasting skill needs and availabilities, thereby aiding in the strategic planning of skill development, migration, and policy-making processes.

Flexibility and precision
The Link4Skills Navigator leverages artificial intelligence to analyse data on skills supply and demand across different regions and sectors. It will provide insights into current and future skill gaps, recommend policies for skill development and migration, and facilitate connections between job seekers, educational institutions, and employers on a global scale. Co-created by the project’s partners and external stakeholders on multiple continents, the L4S Navigator will utilize broad expertise in labour markets, migration, technology, and policy analysis to create a tool that addresses the complex dynamics of global skill flows.

Sample use case
The following steps show a sample application of the Link4Skills Navigator
Input
The user selects a recipient country and a skill
Forecast
The Navigator identifies the degree of labor shortage (or surplus) for the selected country and skill and provides a projection (based on the Skill Shortage Model) based on the current trajectory. This projection can then be used as a baseline for comparison with possible policy interventions.
Simulation
The user can make simulated decisions regarding satisfying demand for the chosen skill, such as upskilling workers, facilitating greater participation of women, automation, or encouraging labor migration.
Presentation of results
The Navigator presents updated projections that take into account the policy interventions chosen by the user. The projections illustrate the anticipated impact of the chosen interventions including potential wage increases.
