Skills for work

The Commonwealth of Learning(COL)’s Skills for Work initiative is aimed at closing the skills gap for in-demand and high-demand jobs in commonwealth nations.

Skills for Work takes a two-pronged approach:

  • Through hybrid models that apply open and distance learning techniques, it helps women, girls, youth, people with disabilities, entrepreneurs, and the unemployed at the community level to acquire relevant 21st Century, life and essential skills, and access in-country mentorship support.
  • Through varied partnership models, it enhances ODL capabilities of both TVET institutions and other non-governmental organisations involved in skill development to share and adapt open educational resources; develop capacity in blended teaching/learning practices; scale up outreach efforts; and, respond to the market needs.

SKILLS FOR WORK SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Through COL-Skills for Work Scholarship, Commonwealth of Learning aims to support the efforts of Member States to disseminate skills required for decent employment and entrepreneurship and pave the way for skilling, reskilling, upskilling and lifelong learning.

Commonwealth of Learning(COL) has partnered with Grow with Google, Coursera and Udemy to offer the Skills for Work Scholarship which will enable Samoan youth and adults to access high quality skill development courses provided through world’s leading e-learning platforms, such as, Coursera and Udemy.
