About the World Employment Alliance (WEA)
WCEA’s work doesn’t stop at in-service education. Through our sister company, the World Employment Alliance (WEA), healthcare professionals can have their skills assessed and verified, then present them directly to potential employers, at home or abroad.
WEA is not a recruitment agency. Professionals choose what they share, and when and where they look for work.

Our ethical commitments
- No skills wasted. WEA helps employers see the full value of the people they could hire.
- Local opportunities first. We work alongside ministries, regulators and councils to support strong home health systems, so working abroad is a choice, not a necessity.
- Fair pay for real skills. Verified skills help professionals be paid for the role they are qualified to do.
- Ethical mobility. We support the principles of the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel.
- From learning to work. Education, assessment and employment are connected in one journey.
Global and regional partnerships
What our stakeholders say
Before SONAM started this initiative, nurses and midwives had expressed uncertainty about how to take care of Covid-19 patients. The intense fear of contagion and threat to mental and psychological wellbeing served as a motivation for us to develop courses that can be reached by a large proportion of nurses and midwives.
