Career Development Support In Changing Labour Markets | Virtual

📅3 November – 15 December 2021| Virtual

The ILO in conjunction with the ETF is offering an online course, starting 3 November, on career development support in changing labor markets, provided by the International Training Centre (ITC) in Turin, Italy. The course will be taught for five hours a week over a six-week period. A limited number of fellowships are to be provided, on a first-come-first-serve basis.

The training will focus on enhancing and developing career development support systems, how that can be achieved, and how much career development support is linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and wider policy goals.

In times of changing labor markets, rapid technological developments, and recovery from COVID-19, career development support is becoming increasingly important for people to manage the frequent and complex transitions within and between learning and work they face. At the same time, career development support services are challenged to provide better access and innovative ways
of delivery to both youth and adults in a lifelong learning perspective.

Career development support includes activities such as:

• Career guidance for all, and especially for unemployed and inactive
• Career education in schools, TVET institutes, universities, and adult learning institutions
• Career development support for workers.

Participants will have the opportunity to discuss with world-class experts and their peers how to enhance and/or develop career development support systems in the context of employment services, education, and training institutions, and with regards to career development support for workers.

In particular, participants will learn:

•  how to adapt career development support systems and services to global developments impacting on education and training systems and the labor markets
•  how key elements of career development support systems could be achieved, from coordination to funding, quality, access, and use of technology
• how career development support is linked to the UN Sustainable Development
  Goals and can contribute to wider public policy goals in education, lifelong learning, employment, and social inclusion.
