Upskilling women workers at scale in STEM sectors

Supported by J.P. Morgan Chase Foundation, the ILO’s In Business soft skills training programme is an initiative of the ILO Women in STEM Programme that aims to improve critical soft skills among women workers in the STEM sector to expand their career prospects.

Variety in experiences of individuals leads to a “diversity of thinking” which is increasingly seen as critical for fostering innovation, creativity and making an enterprise competitive.

By implementing what they’ve learned from the training, workers are able to figure out the root cause of a problem and find a solution by themselves without me.

Delivering quality services to members is one of the key value-added of employer and business membership organizations and few organizations are more qualified to provide businesses with such services. In Business is a natural complement to the services and assistance provided by EBMOs.
