This capacity-building course has been collaboratively designed and implemented by the ITCILO and the Executive Office of the Secretary-General for disability inclusion focal points in the United Nations system. The course will introduce participants to the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS) architecture and the latest policies and frameworks, allowing them to explore strategies and tools for identifying and addressing obstacles to disability inclusion in their context. 
 
If you are a UNDIS focal point or working in UNDIS implementation, either in HQ or in the field, this training course can provide tools to improve your practice and widen your network on disability inclusion! 

System Agents of Change better include gender equality and tackle challenges arising from crises in the new era? How can Gender Focal Point (GFP) networks support organizations in embracing change? This United Nations Gender Focal Points capacity-building programme, collaboratively designed and implemented by the ITCILO and the UN Women Training Centre, will introduce GFPs to the UN gender architecture and the latest gender policies and frameworks. This 5-week blended learning and action-planning programme will allow participants to explore strategies and tools for identifying and addressing obstacles to gender equality in their context. They will examine gender-mainstreaming tools relating to Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment (GEWE), and their concrete application. If you are pushing for equality from the United Nations System, either in HQ or in the field, improve your practice and widen your network with this training course!

The certification will provide facilitators with a method of organizational analysis for detecting and mapping discrimination at work, analysing accountability, evaluating and monitoring systems and instruments, developing a change-management approach, action planning, and identifying new challenges and possible improvements.

La Academia de Género e Inclusión es un evento formativo y de intercambio de experiencias dirigido a todas aquellas personas que actúan como agentes de cambio para la igualdad de género y la inclusión en América latina y el Caribe. La Academia ofrece un foro exclusivo de debate y una plataforma de conocimientos y buenas practicas. El formato propuesto, que combina sesiones plenarias y talleres temáticos electivos, la convierte en una oportunidad única para actualizar y mejorar conocimientos profesionales mediante la exposición a especialistas regionales e internacionales de alto nivel en temas de género, diversidad e inclusión.

At the end of this training, you will be able to: 

• Understand the problem of violence and harassment in the world of work in all its facets; 

• Review the international human rights framework around the issue in light of ILO Convention No. 190 and Recommendation No. 206; 

• Familiarize with the strategies and provisions contained in these instruments; 

• Locate yourself in the roadmap for change laid out by these instruments and identify entry points towards application of their principles in your own context. 

The objective of the course is to provide participants with the knowledge needed to analyse the two-way relationship between trade and gender, to understand the differentiated impacts of non-tariff measures (NTMs) on women, and ultimately produce gender-aware policy recommendations. To this end, the course introduces the concepts of trade and gender and takes a close look at the challenges women face because of NTMs. It combines theory on the interaction between trade and gender with empirical evidence, and proposes policy and practical responses to address these issues.

The UN Women Training Centre and Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) of the Netherlands are launching the latest edition of their Professional Development Programme for Gender Trainers. Called "Feminist Edge", the programme offers professional development that re-captures and re-imagines gender training as a feminist project. It repositions training for gender equality as a strategy to challenge and engender mainstream development and support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The programme addresses the need to (re)claim autonomous spaces for feminist knowledge production and challenges development policy makers and practitioners to re-think how to address social and gender inequity to ensure that “no one is left behind.” Feminist Edge focuses both on the practice of gender training and on its conceptual underpinnings.

The 6-month certificate course will run from 12 February to 9 August 2024 and the deadline for applications is 14 July 2023. 

The ITC-ILO Academy on Gender, Inclusion and the Future of Work will take place in Turin, Italy on 

27 November–8 December 2023.
