Webinar: Skills development during the pandemic and preparing for recovery
English
Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.
Access to training
Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.
This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.
The webinar is organized as part of UNESCO’s weekly webinar series about the educational dimensions of the COVID-19.
This UNESCO webinar on skills development during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic builds on country experiences already shared in the previous UNESCO webinars, which have tackled several dimensions of education policy responses.
It aims to share innovative country experiences with evidences on effectiveness of strategies aimed at tackling the immediate and longer-term effects of the COVID-19 crisis on TVET and skills development systems. It will also explore how recovery is managed and how to build further equitable, resilient and labour market-responsive TVET systems.
