ILO
The International Labour Organization is the tripartite U.N. agency that promotes Decent Work through employment, social security, labour standards and social dialogue. Its work on skills development is guided by the conceptual framework on Skills to improve productivity, employment growth, and development agreed in 2008 by representatives of Governments, Employers’ Associations and Workers’ Associations. Research, policy advice, and pilot projects and technical cooperation programmes to apply good practices in different circumstances across its 185 member States aims to boost the employability of workers, the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises, and the inclusiveness of economic growth. The ILO Secretariat in offices in 40 countries works with Ministries of Labour, employers’ organizations, and trade unions to integrate skills development into national and sector development strategies in order to better meet current labour market needs and to prepare for the jobs of the future; to expand access to employment-related training so that youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are better able to acquire skills and secure productive and decent work; and to improve the ability of public employment services to provide career guidance, maintain labour exchange services, and deliver active labour market programmes.For more information regarding the ILO’s work on skills and employability go to: http://www.ilo.org/skills/lang--en/index.htm; for ILO/Cinterfor's Knowledge Management Plarform, see: http://www.oitcinterfor.org
Online and distance learning
In view of the rapid socio-economic and technological changes, jobs and the skills required to perform them continue to evolve. Many jobs in labour intensive sectors, which tend to be occupied by economically vulnerable groups of people (such as women and the poorly educated), are at high risk of being automated. In this light, delivering job-relevant skills at a reasonable cost, especially for workers whose jobs are at risk, is important. If well implemented, ICTs in TVET have the potential to improve access to learning, to improve quality while decreasing costs, to make teaching and learning more relevant to people’s work and lives, and to encourage individuals to become lifelong learners.

Alessandra Molz, Skills and Employability Specialist, the ILO Office for Central and Eastern Europe, highlighted the core activities implemented by the ILO to support the digitalisation of TVET in Ukraine:
- Methodological Innovations: Interactive multimedia materials developed by ILO help students in four occupations to study through mobile-friendly interactive e-Lessons, virtual simulators, 3D animations, and training videos. The e-Learning materials can easily be applied by all TVET schools in Ukraine. In addition, the project develops self-learning materials and interactive games on labor rights and gender equality.
- Capacity Building: As part of the project, ILO trained a cohort of methodologists, teachers and trainers from 24 regions of Ukraine in developing and facilitating e-Learning and blended-learning facilitators. The trainings also included representatives of the Social Partners (Workers\' and Employers\' Organsiations);
- National e-Platform: The ILO currently develops a national e-Learning platform for TVET, which will enable TVET schools, teachers and methodologists to share the learning materials and their experience, as well as to facilitate the collaboration between TVET schools.
