INSSO’s inaugural conference was a fantastic success: Work Global, Act Sectoral, was attended by more than 125 delegates from across the globe. From sector skills councils, education and skills organizations, TVET providers to national & international policy-makers, and skills experts the conference and the GlobalSkills debate was extremely well attended.

“In these uncertain times, sectorally based skills development is an approach that is too important to pass up.  We must get it right.” Andrew Cardozo, Executive Director, Alliance of Sector Councils, Canada

Delegates heard about the cutting edge projects that are helping bridge the gap between employers and education, how different countries manage their resources and skills, therefore staying head of the latest global employment and skills trends.

The INSSO conference allowed delegates to realize that the sector-based approach can work across international borders and provided all with the hope of working together to supply better futures for the next generations.

“Greater international cooperation on sectoral skills can provide young people with the most relevant skills for a global market, as they face the legacy of recession.” Katie Epstein, INSSO associate director
