01In brief

The short answer.

Future of Work and Skills regional applications address problems in the work and skills field that the countries of a region share, such as automation and jobs, and the cooperation that responds to them. Each application is listed with its status from the programme record, and regional bodies and governments keep their own mandates and decisions.

02Canvas

Scoping to review.

Regional subject applications: a programme through its gatesA request with a named owner becomes a scoping note; inputs are qualified at a gate; delivery runs in workstreams; a controlled test and an independent review precede publication; the owner decides. Design of the process, not a record of a run.
