Skills Alliance
Globalisation and technological change are transforming our lives at unprecedented speed, creating a wealth of new opportunities for world’s economy, businesses, and citizens.
Countries can produce more for less by specialising in what they do best and exploiting economies of scale in global markets. And it is not only large companies that benefit from this process. Many producers and exporters are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The demand for skilled labour has increased but the number of jobs for those with lower-level qualifications has shrunk, particularly in manufacturing. Displaced workers struggle to find jobs, especially when this means acquiring new skills.
The divide between more and less advanced regions risks widening unless the necessary mechanisms are in place to promote high-quality education, training and lifelong learning.
steeluniversity is working with many organisations around the world to develop a Blueprint for sustainable steel industry and coordinated steel skills agenda.
