Overview

Labor mobility pathways succeed or fail in the weeks and months after a worker arrives. Yet post-arrival support, from orientation and housing to language access, workplace induction and ongoing care, remains under-resourced and inconsistent. In this interactive roundtable, city, employer and civil-society leaders join participants to explore what strong post-arrival support looks like in practice, why it matters for workers and program integrity, and how responsibility for getting it right can be shared.

Key questions

• What does effective post-arrival support look like in practice, from initial orientation and housing to workplace induction and ongoing check-ins?
• Whose responsibility is post-arrival support, and how should it be shared across employers, recruiters, destination governments and cities, and civil-society organizations?
• What evidence shows that strong post-arrival support improves worker wellbeing, retention and program integrity, and where are the biggest gaps?

Who should join

Employers and sector recruiters (especially in care, agriculture and other high-mobility sectors), destination-country policymakers and municipal/city officials, worker-support and integration NGOs, and labor migration program designers and funders.
