ILO Decent Work Team and Office for the Caribbean Breakfast Meeting
This event will showcase in a concise, high-impact manner how the ILO is preparing with the Caribbean for the future of work through the presentation of the two aforementioned documents. This aims to reinforce ILO’s voice and visibility as the world’s expert agency for the world of work, and indeed the future of work, in this case focusing on training.
Background
In anticipation of the Future of Work Centenary Initiative, the ILO is working closely with constituents across the region to prepare for the future of work as well as the future of training.
In this context, the ILO Decent Work team (DWT) and Caribbean Office has supported the National Training Agency (NTA) of Trinidad and Tobago in conducting a research study focussed on the core skills required from the perspective of employers. While the report is not yet finalised for public consumption, the research has been done and an executive summary can be presented in an intimate forum to give stakeholders a taste of the current skillsets available in country as well as a reflection from employers as to what they look for when recruiting.
Another important study conducted in the region was launched at a meeting of the ILO/CINTERFOR technical committee in August in Costa Rica. The document titled, “The future of professional training in Latin America and the Caribbean: Diagnostic and general guidelines for its strengthening” addresses a range of topics that are of interest to our stakeholders. These include: policies of productive development and technological changes; support for social dialogue; boosting apprenticeships or “quality learning” that uses companies as a learning space and much more.
Objective
A meeting with stakeholders, development partners and diplomatic corps to celebrate our fruitful partnerships over the last biennium while looking forward to new projects and new achievements in the New Year.
