Working groups

The National Working Groups (NWG) do the expert work of a National programme. Experts, practitioners, students and volunteers take bounded, supervised assignments with stated prerequisites, review points and closure criteria. The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) supplies methods, tools and supervision standards. Assignments follow competence. Ordinary participation has no fee. Part of National Nexus.

02Steps

How an assignment works.

  1. 01

    Explore work calls

    Current work calls state the task, prerequisites and expected time.

  2. 02

    Competence and availability

    Contributors are matched on competence and availability.

  3. 03

    Bounded assignment

    Each assignment has a supervisor, review points and closure criteria.

  4. 04

    Review and record

    Work is reviewed and kept as a contribution record.

  5. 05

    Recognition and next step

    Recognition and the next assignment follow the record.

03Who takes part

Four kinds of contributor.

Experts

Senior experts

Domain specialists, reviewers and technical leads.

Practitioners

Practitioners

Operators and professionals bringing working knowledge.

Students

Students and early-career researchers

Supervised tasks with a mentor and a learning plan.

Volunteers

Volunteers

Safe, bounded tasks with clear supervision.

04Process

How the process runs.

Process

Working groups: Task exposure to reskilling

Exposure steps follow the ILO paper on generative AI and jobs, skills-gap steps follow OECD skills-for-jobs work, and training steps are common practice.

  1. 01 Diagnose

    1. 01Occupations and tasksDatasetOccupations are broken into tasks. The ILO study uses a language model to estimate task-level scores of potential exposure to generative AI.
    2. 02Vacancies and skills demandDatasetEmployer demand comes from vacancy and skills data. The OECD database covers shortages, surpluses and mismatches.
    3. 03Task exposureModelThe ILO study finds AI more likely to augment work than to fully automate occupations. Exposure scores are an upper-bound estimate.
    4. 04Skill gapsStepA skill gap is a difference between the skills employers seek and the skills people have. Gaps are listed by occupation.

  2. 02 Transition

    1. 05Training pathwaysStep · Independent reviewerTraining pathways are designed with employers and social partners. The ILO stresses orderly, fair and consultative transitions.
    2. 06PlacementStepPlacement services match trained people to jobs and follow up. This is common practice.
    3. 07Income support during transitionStepIncome support can help people through a transition. The ILO page read stresses job quality, fair transitions and social dialogue.

    1. 08EvaluationDecision · Independent reviewerThe programme owner evaluates outcomes such as earnings and employment. The measures are chosen by the owner.

Neutral outline of a published external standard or method, from its issuing body. Not a record of operation. Nexus does not perform, certify or approve any step shown. A gate or decision belongs to the party the source names. The ILO paper scores tasks within occupations. Training and placement steps are common practice.

05Safeguards

Supervision and fair terms.

  • Ordinary participation has no fee. Paid work, internships and fellowships are separate arrangements.
  • Unqualified contributors never take safety-critical tasks, and no one gets an unsupervised high-consequence assignment.
  • Six domain response teams sit under the working groups for preparedness, observation, verification, mapping, exercises and learning. They are not emergency services or incident command.
  • Safeguarding concerns use a restricted route.
06Work types

Typical kinds of assignment.

Assignments come from the national agenda and the year’s missions: source qualification and data stewardship, mapping and geospatial analysis, model building and testing, evidence review, exercise support and observation, and drafting country-edition sections for review. Each assignment states the competence it needs and how the work will be reviewed.

07Status

No working group is constituted.

No national programme is recorded as constituted or active, so no working group sits yet. Information and enquiries are open today. Contributors can register interest at the expert application form; see Experts, volunteers and students. Safeguarding concerns go to the safeguarding report form. The Global Risks Forum (GRF) runs Experts and working communities.

08Questions

Questions and answers.

Do I have to pay to join a working group?
No. Ordinary participation has no fee.
Will I be paid?
Ordinary participation is unpaid. Paid work, internships and fellowships are separate arrangements with their own terms.
How much time does an assignment take?
Each work call states the expected time and the review points. Contributors take assignments that fit their availability and can close an assignment under its stated closure criteria.
Do the response teams respond to emergencies?
No. They support preparedness, observation, verification, mapping, exercises and learning. They are not emergency services. In immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.

Bring a method, a dataset or a question.

Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
