The International Labour Organization and Digital Cooperation Organization signed a partnership deal on June 12 to help workers adapt as automation and Artificial Intelligence reshapes jobs worldwide, reveals an official ILO press release. The agreement targets digital skills training for women, young people, and communities in developing countries, often left behind by tech innovations.
The two organization plan to run digital training programs and help governments write policies that protect workers during tech transitions.
“This partnership reflects our shared vision of a future where digital transformation drives social and economic inclusion,” said ILO Deputy Director-General Celeste Drake.
DCO Director General Dr. Hajar El Haddaoui said they want the digital economy to become “a force for social inclusion and shared prosperity.”
ILO and DCO will host discussions, research labor trends, and advise countries on preparing workers for digital jobs. Their work supports the UN’s development goals and digital cooperation efforts.
The partnership aims to ensure tech progress helps all workers, not just those already connected to digital industries.
