Themetic: Youth Skills and Livelihoods
Partner: World Economic Forum
This programme addresses the growing mismatch between the supply and demand of future skills in the labour market by working with leading businesses, top universities, and the EdTech community to adopt a shared skills taxonomy and pilot its implementation across emerging economies. It focuses on advancing and scaling the work of the Future Skills Alliance through an ecosystem of partnerships among learning providers, employers, and governments. These partnerships aim to operationalise the Reskilling Revolution and accelerate the transition to a skills-based labour market by adopting a common language for skills, recognising skills-based credentials, partnering to deliver skills-based learning, and championing skills-based workforce strategies. This effort lays the foundation for an ambitious intermediate goal of at least 100 organisations adopting the skills taxonomy and at least 20 organisations piloting the Global Skills Passport framework by the end of 2023.
