Apresentação do curso
In recent years, member States of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the social partners have increasingly sought ILO’s technical assistance to help strengthen their national labour inspection systems. These requests have often resulted in the provision of ILO’s technical assistance to develop a comprehensive workplace inspection and compliance programme as well as possible strategies to support the objectives of ministries of labour in promoting compliance and to deepen collaboration with the social partners. The Academy on Labour Administration, Labour Inspection and Workplace Compliance is a comprehensive training package, which provides participants with a unique opportunity to gain new knowledge, share experiences and reflect on key issues, trends and challenges relating to workplace compliance through labour inspection. The Academy will be organized by the ILO LABADMIN/OSH Branch of the Governance and Tripartism Department of the ILO jointly with the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO).
