Skills-first approaches prioritise demonstrated skills over formal qualifications and experience in hiring, training, and workforce development, positioning skills as the core currency for articulating, developing, and recognising capabilities throughout the labour market. Co-developed by the OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs and the Centre for Skills-First Practices at the Singapore University of Social Sciences-Institute for Adult Learning (SUSS-IAL), the Skills-First Readiness and Adoption Index is the first structured, data-driven framework to measure and track the readiness and adoption of skills-first practices internationally. Join us to hear more about the index and how countries are advancing the skills-first agenda!
