Sponsored by Pearson, owners of Education Development International, Edexcel and the Financial Times, the conference was described as the “World Economic Forum” for jobs, growth and skills, with both INSSO’s inaugural conference and Global Skills Debate taking place on the same day. There were high profile, expert speakers, from industry skills bodies as far afield as Australia, India and Canada, as well as multi-national bodies such as the ILO and the European Commission. A vibrant and stimulating conference, both the speakers and the audience were given the opportunity to understand the real challenges that face today’s global labour force – both now and in the future.

Globalisation is placing new demands on education and training systems worldwide. The sector-based approach is uniquely bridging that gap, helping industry partners and educators, ultimately access more employable people who are better skilled. INSSO exists to identify and share international best practice through a sectoral approach.
