Regional Call for Proposals to create Industry Skills Strategies

implementation

The objective of this TC is to launch a regional call for proposals that will allow industries in LAC to develop their industry skill strategies. The scope of the strategy is to identify industry skills needs to be able to charter occupational pathways as the industries evolve in the next few years. The objective of the strategy is to create a pipeline of workers with the required skills companies need to fuel their digital and/or business transformation in the context of the 4IR, as well as support the upskilling and reskilling of their workforce. Furthermore, these skills strategies will provide insights to mitigate workforce displacement in industries that are adopting technologies as well as drive digital inclusion of vulnerable populations by training them in the job-readiness skills they will need to access good jobs.
