The International Labour Organisation has organized a series of webinars that were held in 2020, focussed on Skills Development thematic areas and on sectoral approaches. During these webinars, participants identified South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) priorities. The identified priorities are assessed as potential subjects for SSTC partnerships and will form the basis for discussions in a virtual skills fair to be held on 21-22 April.

This will take the form of a two-day event that will closely mirror the flow and appearance of a real fair, open to all. It will have a number of thematic and sectoral parallel sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from experts, share their experiences with others, interact with participants from other countries and visit the exhibition hall where a number of booths will be set up by a selected set of institutions.

CREATING SSTC SKILLS PARTNERSHIPS

The objective of the event is the development of partnerships among participating institutions, which may lead to solutions for the implementation of future-focused skills development initiatives. For this reason, we believe Virtual Skills Fair is also a good opportunity for participating organizations to:

• Promote your projects and activities
• Expand your networks of contacts
• Learn what other organizations are doing on the topics of Quality apprenticeships, Skills need anticipation (focus on Skills for trade and economic diversification), Digital skills and digital transformation and Skills training in specific sectors
• Establish collaboration with other organizations, who share your goals
• Share knowledge both south-south and triangular

AN INNOVATIVE EVENT

Virtual fairs are important events where new connections are made and new ideas are shared and concretised. The virtual skills fair offers a viable, interesting and engaging alternative with the same opportunities as in a real fair. You will have the possibility to:

• Access the event through a virtual lobby;
• Use an info desk in case of questions or technical issues;
• Visit the exhibition hall where different online exhibition booths present projects, organizations, companies, or institutions;
• Participate in the collective auditorium to view live webinars, pre-recorded videos, and semi-live sessions;
• Receive a virtual bag record all the online resources and share business cards with other participants
