Global Skills Forum 2024

Skills Development for Social Justice

The Global Skills Forum is an opportunity for Government and Social Partner representatives from around the world to take part in a conversation about how to shape skills development in our ever-changing economies and societies.

Organized by the ILO in collaboration with the European Commission, the two-day forum is a unique opportunity to discuss among high-level representatives of Ministries, Social Partners, International Organisations and Donors and to elevate worldwide attention towards greater investments in skills development and quality apprenticeships.

The forum also provides an opportunity to spotlight the Quality Apprenticeships Recommendation, 2023 (No. 208), as well as to celebrate the European Year of Skills.

Key topics include:

  • Human-centred green, digital, and social transitions
  • Quality apprenticeships
  • Work-based learning
