In this episode ofEmpowerMigra, we explore a widely held belief:
“Foreign qualifications are worthless.”
At first, this may soundlogical to many.
But is it actually true?
We take a look at a studyon highly qualified migrants – particularly in the medical field. In otherwords, exactly where qualifications should be clearly measurable.
The findings show:
The problem is not a lack of knowledge.
The problem is whetherthis knowledge is recognized, translated, and approved.
Even highly qualifiedprofessionals face significant barriers:
Lengthy recognition procedures, bureaucracy, limited comparability of educationsystems, and restricted access to the labor market.
The result:
Not a lack of performance – but blocked access.
And this is where thenarrative falls apart:
If qualifications were truly “worthless,” why would they need to be evaluatedat all?
This episode shows thatit is not about “real” or “fake” qualifications –
but about systems that are not compatible.
And it raises a crucialquestion at the end:
If the qualification exists – why is it not being used?
