THE FUTURE OF WORK; IT’S ALREADY HERE
The Future of Work initiative is well on its way towards the Centenary celebrations which will take place next year. Our Training Centre is decidedly aligning with this and is currently building a capacity building supporting initiative that contributes to the larger Future of Work umbrella. All training units will be involved as the Future of Work is directly connected to the Future of Learning. In this article we want to explore the different pillars of this supporting initiative.
Thematic dialogues from Silicon Valley towards the Nile Valley The Centre is the ideal setting to explore the different perspectives regarding important and pertinent Future of Work themes. The Global Symposium on Work on Society, which was held in September 2017, is a good example of this. The use of participatory methodologies to enrich the current dialogues is a vital and important value-added ingredient. https://futureofwork.itcilo.org/
Capacity building support for the Future of Work To increase the outreach of the Future of Work dialogues, a set of targeted training interventions have been scheduled for 2018. Reporting on the Future of Work is an interesting collaboration with ILO Geneva where, in close collaboration with journalists, we are discussing the ILO’s Future of Work message as a part of the global conversation which is taking place.
Learning innovation, our comparative advantage Exploring new conversations, ideas and innovations through participatory learning methodologies and technologies are the value-added features that the Centre can bring to the on-going progress in the Future of Work field. The launch of the supporting platform http://futureofwork. itcilo.org will be our institutional aggregation point where dialogue, training and useful knowledge resources will all be collected together.
