The two-day Global Skills Forum hosted by the ILO Skills and Employability Branch started in Geneva on Tuesday.
A session titled "Transforming Skills Development Systems: A Case Study of Successful ILO-EU-Canada Partnership in Bangladesh" will take place during the Forum on Wednesday.
The session will showcase how collaborative efforts between the International Labour Organization (ILO), European Union (EU), and Canada have effectively supported Bangladesh in revamping its skills development systems to be more market-oriented, appealing, and inclusive.
The speakers will also discuss how these efforts will shape future investments, said the ILO on Tuesday.
Education Minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhury, along with representatives from employers' organizations, trade unions, and development partners, will examine the achievements, current challenges, and recommendations for advancing Bangladesh's skills ecosystem through partnerships and collaboration.
The forum brings together delegates from governments, employers' associations, trade unions, and international organizations.
The aim of this Forum is to foster a comprehensive dialogue on navigating the complexities of our rapidly evolving economies and societies.
Skills development is a crucial part of preparing individuals and societies for the jobs of the future.
As economies shift direction to clean energy use and advances in technology transform the world of work, new skills will be needed throughout our lives.
