In collaboration with the award-winning podcast Borders & Belonging, Link4Skills is reaching out to listening audiences around the world, sharing insights from our continuing research into how cross-border migration can help address skill shortages. During this collaboration (scheduled through 2026), L4S consortium members will contribute to several episodes of the Borders & Belonging podcast. Our involvement in these episodes is made possible through cooperation with the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration at Toronto Metropolitan University, a Link4Skills project partner.
Skills shortages, AI and the future of work
Al, aging populations, and the energy transition: how are these forces reshaping the job market and global migration? In this episode, distinguished guests walk us through how automation is transforming industries, influencing hiring, and impacting migrant workers. Are we creating new opportunities or just making it harder for them to find decent jobs?

Teseseltje De Lange, professor at Radboud University, principal investigator of the Global Strategy for Skills Migration and Development (GSS) project
