About

This year, the ILO celebrates its 100th anniversary.

In the run up, the organization came up with seven cross-cutting, forward-looking initiatives. The Future of Work, one of the seven, aims to cultivate a global dialogue on relevant issues, such as jobs and social justice. The ITCILO, the training arm of the ILO, provides support via training courses and online resources.

Where we come from
When the ILO launched the Future of Work initiative in 2018, it began a deep-dive into the opportunities and challenges of the future. The ILO’s dedicated website showcases its original research paper series, issue briefs, and trend reports. It’s useful for researchers and policy makers.

The Turin Centre’s mission is to reach out to the general public through training courses, both online and in classrooms around the world.

We hope to ignite conversation, improve training, and provide support related to the Future of Work. This virtual space is the entry point for projects, ideas, and reflections.
We hope it’s useful to workers worldwide.

Work and society workshop

In September 2017, the Turin Centre welcomed 30 global experts to a symposium on work and society.

A diverse group of voices converged to answer some pressing questions:

How is the changing nature of work reshaping society?
How is the meaning of work evolving?
And how do we shape the new social model to ensure decent work for all?
