This course allows understanding the issues and challenges around financing institutions responsible for TVET/Skills Development in order to financially support effective, efficient and sustainable systems. The course covers:

• Resource mobilization, including the diversification of sources, regional and sectoral approaches and a focus on the independence of training establishments and Public Private Partnership (PPP);
• The allocation of mobilized resources, by analysing the various stakeholders and advantages and disadvantages of the different allocation methods;
• Managing the use of resources allocated from the perspective of accountability.

Participants will strengthen their knowledge in order to be able to participate meaningfully in financing mechanisms and subsystems, with a better understanding:

• Of different approaches commonly used, in different contexts, to finance skills development.
• Of the roles, types and targets of incentives for the financing of skills development.
• Of skills development financing mechanisms to ensure the fair participation of all stakeholders in mobilization and decision-making concerning financial resources mobilized.

Participants will be connected to an international network of decision makers involved in financing skills development at local, sectoral and national level. They will be able to:

• Adopt a systemic view of the financing of skills development, by analysing the links between governance and other functions of their systems;
• Identify the bottlenecks and areas of improvement in financing arrangements in their own context, with clear ideas of the policy options to follow;
• Choose the most appropriate approaches and methods to mobilize, allocate and manage the use of financial resources, to respond to issues in their contexts.

• The course takes a systemic approach, highlighting the links between financing and other functions of the training system.
• Participants are encouraged to share their individual experiences on training days, thus creating a community of international practice.
• Given the unique position of the ILO, the course will place participants at the heart of the current debate on financing training, from the perspective of social dialogue and of setting up innovative systems and meeting diverse needs.
