Session 1: From global agendas to local actions: Building bridges to local skills

Jun 25, 2024 | 12:20 PM - 1:00 PM

Description

How can local governments draw on the international skills agenda to encourage more citizens to learn skills for the jobs of tomorrow? In February 2024, the OECD Skills Summit gathered leadership from member countries to discuss national policy changes needed. Throughout 2023 and 2024, the European Year of Skills furthered initiatives within the EU to drive lifelong learning rates, such as EU Individual Learning Accounts. The ILO strategy on skills and lifelong learning 2030 supports skills systems that encourage decent work around the globe. This session will discuss how to transform this international-level momentum into local action on the ground. Esta sesión tendrá interpretación en español.
