Summary: 

Mexico has been implementing programs to evaluate and certify middle skilled workers for migrants with relatively lower levels of formal education but who have acquired significant and complex skills through on-the-job learning. Migrants that fit this profile include, for example, skilled construction workers, experienced garment manufacturers, workers in the high-end service and hospitality industry, and home-health care providers. The Mexican government has designed a program to recognize and certify work capacities in a specific labor area with the support of institutions of bi-national recognition.
