Memorandum of Understanding between the Italian Government and UNHCR

Enabling selected refugees who have been trained abroad to enter the Italian labour market through special employment corridors. This is provided for in the memorandum of understanding signed at the end of June 2025 by the Italian government and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
To date, four projects have been launched; 70 refugees residing in Colombia, Egypt, Uganda and Jordan will be placed in the airport, shipbuilding, IT and goldsmith sectors once they arrive in Italy. The projects are designed to be expanded to other economic sectors and geographical contexts in the coming years, with the aim of significantly increasing the opportunities offered to refugees and Italian companies.
Italy remains one of the first countries in the world to develop a regular channel for refugees to enter the labour market, both by providing specific entry quotas within the ordinary annual programme and through the so-called “extra quota” route.
