Presentación del curso
Large-scale displacement, whether internal or cross-border, can have immediate and significant socio-economic impacts, increasing competition for jobs, resources and services that can negatively affect economic development. For refugees, access to decent work is a key factor in ensuring their protection and wellbeing, as well as the fulfilment of their life purpose: decent work strengthens resilience, leading to the attainment of social and economic rights and promoting social justice. In line with the 2016 ILO Guiding Principles on the access of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons to the labour market, this course will look at the main lessons learned and the good practices that have emerged in areas related to medium- and long-term employment policy, skills recognition and development, the promotion of entrepreneurship and the development of sustainable businesses.

- Officials of ministries of labour and related institutions, other ministries and government agencies responsible for refugee-related policies and programmes;
