Skills for the Digital Labour Market: Data, Platforms, and Flexible Learning (EN)

Friday, June 5, 2026 09:45 – 11:00

Room: Primavera

Africa’s labour markets are shifting rapidly with the growth of digital and platform work, creating skills demands that traditional training systems struggle to track and meet. This session brings together perspectives from labour-market analytics, TVET reform and AI-enabled learning to examine how data, flexible formats and modular credentials can better align training with real-time opportunities. Speakers will present practical, scalable approaches to building more responsive and inclusive skills systems—supporting both policymakers and workers to navigate and benefit from the digital economy.
