Sharing a great resource for anyone looking to sharpen their YE knowledge: ITCILO has launched a free, self-paced online course on promoting youth employment — a solid refresher or introduction for Network members and country counterparts alike.
What it covers:
The course is structured in three modules:
Understanding the Youth Employment Challenge
Promoting Youth Employment: Policies and Solutions
Promoting Youth Employment in Emerging Sectors
By the end, participants will be able to explain key ILO labour market concepts, identify effective policy approaches for youth access to decent work, and recognize employment opportunities in emerging sectors like the digital, green, and care economies — with inclusion, gender equality, and decent work woven throughout.
Good fit for: policy-makers and government officials, workers'/employers' organization reps, development practitioners, and trainers/researchers — so well suited to our Network's mixed audience across focus countries.
