Employment and entrepreneurship policies must go beyond simply increasing the number of programmes. Their effectiveness depends on the quality of support mechanisms, knowledge of the labour market, the ability of businesses to grow, and the link between available skills and economic opportunities.
The IIRCF supports employment organisations, support structures, agencies, public programmes and economic stakeholders in building the capacities that underpin labour market integration, entrepreneurship, productivity and business transformation.
The areas in which we provide support
- Employment policies and the performance of labour market institutions
- Labour market intelligence and skills forecasting
- Labour market integration, economic inclusion and transition to employment
- Entrepreneurship and the professionalisation of support schemes
- Productivity, management and the transformation of SMEs
- Value chains, local content, investment and public-private dialogue
Moving from support schemes to sustainable economic outcomes
The aim is to strengthen the capacity of institutions and businesses to create better pathways for employment, growth and productivity, through measures that are more closely aligned with the economy’s actual needs.
