Recognizing the active role of individuals and organizations in driving innovation in skills systems and addressing skills challenges, the ILO has launched the Skills Innovation Network.

The Skills Innovation Network connects skills innovators interested in sharing ideas, experiences and collaborate to develop and scale innovations for identified skills challenges.

The Skills Innovation Network intends to engage all organizations and individuals having submitted proposals in the ILO Skills Challenge Innovation Call and provide them with space to connect with lead organizations working on similar issues across the world, refine their proposals, and initiate new endeavours around joint areas of interest.
