Effective employment policies. From global frameworks to local action

Course objectives

Organized jointly by the ITC/ILO and the Employment Labour Markets and Youth Branch of the ILO Employment Policy, Job Creation and Livelihoods Department, this course aims to strengthen the capacities of policymakers, including social partners to design and implement comprehensive policy employment frameworks.

By exposing participants to an appropriate combination of theoretical insights, hands-on experiences and knowledge sharing, the course will allow them to:

• Understand what the constraints in labour markets are and what hinders economies from creating the jobs needed to achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all.
• Become familiar with the key aspects of designing and implementing comprehensive and effective employment policies that address both short-term and structural employment challenges;
• Analyse the different elements constituting a gender-responsive comprehensive employment policy framework within the policy cycle, from employment services to macroeconomic frameworks;
• Understand the role of social dialogue in crafting comprehensive coherent and well-coordinated policies that fit national realities and are adapted to the current and future realities;
• Take stock of current good practices and adjust them to the national context of the participating countries.
  

The course is available in English, Français.
