Quality Apprenticeship and Life Long Learning in China

The Project aims to collaborate with the government, employers’ and workers’ organizations in China in developing more responsive skills development systems, adapted to labour market changes and technological developments so as to reduce the job and skill mismatches highlighted in the market need analysis. The ILO’s quality apprenticeship and soft skills training program in China mainly aims to i) build the capacity of government, employers’ and workers’ organizations in the field of apprenticeship and soft skills training required for industry 4.0; ii) adapt and pilot ILO global and regional ILO Quality apprenticeship tools to the Chinese context including e-course training packages targeting enterprise managers and HR leads; iii) adapt and pilot the ILO’s In Business Soft Skills training program and tools for in-company lifelong learning . The ILO will be focusing on establishing partnerships and collaborations that will help to sustain the adoption of these tools beyond the immediate grant period and support the development of a medium-term plan to promote quality apprenticeship in China.
