Training

As skilled human resources are central to the pursuit of decent work, in 1965, the ILO established its training arm in Turin, Italy, to assist countries in their social and economic development through training.

Working in close partnership with regional and national training institutions, the Centre contributes to disseminating the ILO’s principles and policies, and to strengthening the capacity of national institutions to implement relevant programmes, in line with its strategic objectives. It seeks to assemble, package and deliver the best thinking, practice and experience – from the ILO and elsewhere – concerning fundamental principles and rights at work; employment and income opportunities for women and men; social protection for all, tripartism and social dialogue; and management of the development process.

International Training Centre of the ILO

The Centre works to enhance the capacity of governments, employers' organizations, workers' organizations and other social and economic actors to play an effective role in the economic and social development of their countries and regions.
