Hello and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, a show about all things migration hosted by yours truly, Loksan Harley from Homelands Advisory.
Today, we’ve got a fascinating episode featuring my friend Salvatore Petronella from Labor Mobility Partnerships (LaMP).
About Salvatore
Salvatore Petronella is a migration governance specialist focusing on the EU external dimension, with a special focus on labour mobility and the smuggling of migrants. He is currently the Knowledge and Influence Lead at LaMP, developing proof-of-concepts for EU Member States and engaging with industry representatives and international institutions.
Salvatore previously coordinated the launch and implementation of the Migration Partnership Facility (MPF) at the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). He also worked at ICF International, leading various evaluation and impact assessments as well as serving as a senior expert to the European Migration Network (EMN). He previously worked at the European Commission (DG HOME) as a seconded national expert on integration policies.
What we talk about
I was keen to get Salvatore on the show to talk about his work at LaMP, as I’d been seeing and hearing a lot about this relatively new organisation and was curious to learn more. And because I was curious, well, I thought some of you might be curious about LaMP as well.
So listen closely as Salvatore and I talk all about:
LaMP and their work to develop new labour mobility schemes and partnerships.
The broader demographic trends that are creating a need for labour mobility partnerships.
How labour mobility is currently regulated.
How labour mobility partnerships have the potential to match growing labour demands and shortages around the world.
As always, I’d like to thank you very much for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show.
