Creating Jobs

The World Bank Group Academy aims to address the critical challenge of job creation, which is fundamental to development and poverty reduction. The Academy will focus on three interconnected areas:

1. Stimulating sustainable job growth: The Academy will focus on fostering economic environments that generate consistent employment opportunities across different sectors

2. Inclusive workforce participation: Academy programs will target strategies to integrate youth, women, and vulnerable populations into the labor market, addressing barriers to entry and promoting equal access to employment

3. Skills development for the future: The Academy will emphasize developing needed training and education initiatives to equip workers with the skills needed to adapt to rapidly evolving technologies and changing job markets.

By addressing these key areas, the WBG Academy seeks to support countries in building robust economic institutions capable of creating high-quality jobs that meet the needs of their populations. This approach aligns with the World Bank's broader mission of reducing poverty and promoting shared prosperity in a livable planet.
