Call for External Collaborators – Comparative Analysis of Country Experiences in Skills Development, Professionalization and Certification of Long-Term Care Workers

Dear Bidder, The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator. Below is a summary of the work to be performed: The ILO seeks to engage an international consultant to conduct a comparative analysis of skills development systems for care workers across Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Asia-Pacific, with a focus on domestic workers and home- and community-based long-term care workers. The study will examine skills recognition, recognition of prior learning (RPL), lifelong learning, qualifications frameworks, occupational standards, certification systems and relevant active labour market programmes. The assessment aims to identify policies and practices that strengthen the professionalization of the care workforce and promote decent work. It will generate practical recommendations for governments, social partners and workers’ organizations, while identifying transferable approaches and policy innovations that can be adapted through South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC), institutional peer learning and cross-regional knowledge exchange. If you are interested, please express interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed terms of reference and other relevant information in the ILO e-sourcing platform. Please submit your proposal before the specified deadline. Thank you.
