Creating jobs through inclusive infrastructure investments

This introductory course is an interactive e-learning opportunity to explore how to create more and better jobs through sustainable and inclusive infrastructure investments. By undertaking a review of different approaches and best practices, participants will learn more on how to design, implement and monitor infrastructure investments that boost job creation, at the same time addressing economic, social and environmental challenges. The course will have a specific focus on the development of local infrastructure using a local resource-based approach, i.e. combining the use of local participation in planning with the use of locally available skills, technology, and materials. The course will focus on six different blocks, namely

• Local resource-based (LRB) approaches and community infrastructure
• Public employment programmes
• Green Works
• Small-scale contractors development
• Employment impact assessment
• Emergency employment

This course has been designed according to a learner-centred approach. The learning journey combines six live sessions with six online Learning Blocks offered through the ITCILO eCampus online platform that participants will be able to complete at their own pace.
