E-LEARNING CURRICULUM
Master the basics of research on child labour and forced labour. Build foundational knowledge and practice using operational definitions, measurement frameworks, case examples, and datasets. Learn from specialists at the International Labour Organization (ILO) and from outstanding experts worldwide. We offer two courses with thematic areas on child labour and forced labour. In each course, you can choose your learning path (i.e., a predetermined set of modules) or customise your course content depending on your interest. In addition, child labour and forced labour are closely related to human trafficking. In light of these linkages, in both courses you can access the complementary modules on human trafficking and migration, jointly developed with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), to dive deeper into these issues.

The contents of this course have been developed within the framework of the ILO development cooperation projects MAP16 and RTA with support by the United States Department of Labor. These two projects are committed to achieving Target 8.7 of the Sustainable Development Goals – to take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms.
Learn more about ILO’s MAP16: Measurement, awareness-raising and policy engagement to accelerate action against child labour and forced labour project.
Learn more about ILO’s RTA: From Research to Action: Using Knowledge to Accelerate Progress in the Elimination of Child Labour and Forced Labour project. The RTA project collaborates with IOM’s Protection Division to ensure that issues related to trafficking for forced labour, child trafficking, child labour and forced labour in crisis-affected populations and among migrants are reflected across all project activities.
This training course is produced under the framework of the ILO’s projects under the cooperative agreement IL-30147 (Map 16 project) and IL-32462 (RTA project). One hundred percent of the total costs of both projects are financed with United States Government federal funds, for a total of USD 23,945,000 dollars (MAP 16 project) and USD 3,360,000 dollars (RTA project).
