    abstract = "As the number of migrants arriving in Europe increases, host societies
face the challenge of supporting their smooth integration, respecting
their needs and recognizing their competencies. A key element for their
new life is their integration in the labour market. This paper presents
a platform which offers a set of tools that has been developed to
support migrants to find their way into the labour market in EU
countries. This set includes tools for skill assessment, artificial
intelligence tools providing recommendations for jobs that match their
personal skills and needs, tools for suggesting training paths and
options to empower their candidacy, and easy-to-use tools for creating
their CV/portfolio. We focus on the evaluation of this platform in real
life settings in two countries (Greece and Spain), which is part of our
co-creation approach. The results are very promising and show the
satisfaction of the migrants. Additionally, they provide valuable
insights for both those that develop such tools and those that can use
them in their work/activities with the migrants (such as the
non-governmental organisations and host authorities)."
