Abstract
During 2020/21, the International Labour Organization (ILO) undertook a series of rapid skills assessments (RSAs) of COVID-19ʼs impact on employment and skills across various countries. The exercise sought to understand the contribution re-skilling and upskilling could make to improving outcomes for employers and individuals and to identify practical options or recommendations for policy action on re-skilling and upskilling to improve employment outcomes. The key findings are reported based on a synthesis of the evidence collected through a series of assessments undertaken in Cambodia, Morocco, and Kuwait.
