The Turin Centre offers training activities meant to bolster decent work and sustainable development, as per the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Decent work and productive employment are key elements of successful national development agendas and policies, and are detailed in Goal 8 of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Courses help participants work toward practical and timely development goals. Subjects include policy-making skills enhancement and project cycle management in fragile settings.

The Centre’s training activities consider the social dimension of sustainable development, including climate change, migration, and youth employment, in addition to economic factors.
