Promoting greater investment in training and skills development to provide men and women improved and equal access to decent work
Skills and knowledge are the engines of economic growth and social
development. The ILO's Skills and Employability Department (EMP/SKILLS)
assists individuals to become employable through training, skills development
and education. This assistance is crucial to improve and sustain their
productivity and income-earning opportunities at work. It serves to enhance
their mobility in the labour market and offer the potential for increased
career choices. By investing in their human resources, enterprises are able to
improve productivity and compete more successfully in increasingly integrated
world economies. EMP/SKILLS seeks to promote greater
investment in skills and training so that men and women have enhanced and
equal access to productive and decent work. Through the vehicles of advocacy,
knowledge development and services to ILO constituents, EMP/SKILLS
promotes the improvement of training policies and programmes world-wide, with
special emphasis on training strategies that support the integration of groups
that may be disadvantaged in the labour market.
