This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.

The International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ITCILO) is the training arm of the International Labour Organization (ILO). It runs training, learning and capacity development services for governments, employers' organizations, workers' organizations and other national and international partners in support of Decent Work and sustainable development.[1] It is part of the United Nations System.
Governing Board
Given its tripartite structure, the Centre is governed by a Board composed of representatives of governments, workers' and employers' organizations. The Board approves the annual programme and budget, provides strategic guidance and direction to the management of the Centre, proposes adjustments to reflect changing priorities and resources, and through the review of internal and external audit reports, exercises an oversight role in relation to financial and internal governance matters. The Board meets annually and is chaired by the Director-General of the ILO.[2]
Position within the UN
As the training arm of the ILO, our mission is to be a centre-of-excellence for experience-sharing and global peer group networking. We support the ILO in its efforts to combat global unemployment; free people in forced labour; abolish child labour, and improve working conditions for domestic workers and migrant workers. We support the capacity development of Employers' and Workers' Organisations to enable them to be active and effective representative institutions at local, national and regional level.
History[3]
Origins
In the Fifties and Sixties, decolonization was gaining momentum. The newly independent nations needed a multitude of knowledge and skills, so they turned the ILO for help. That is what led the Governing Body of the ILO to seek a permanent facility that could produce agents of development for emerging nations. A quest for appropriate premises was set in motion. In 1961, the Italian Government, during the century of Italian unity celebrated in Turin, in response to the ILO’s aspiration to establish its own permanent global training arm, graciously offered the “Italia 61” premises. In May 1963, the ILO’s Governing Body unanimously adopted the Centre’s statute and established, in collaboration with the Italian Government, the International Training Centre on 24 October 1964. The agreement was signed by Giuseppe Saragat, Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the Italian Government, and by David A. Morse, Director-General for the ILO. By 1 October 1965, the International Centre for Advanced Technical and Vocational Training – as it was then called – was ready to start his work.
Mission
The mission of the Centre is to be the leading global provider of learning and training for the world of work. Learning, knowledge-sharing and institutional capacity-building activities and programmes for governments, workers’ and employers’ organizations and other development partners are based on the latest thinking, best practices and comparative experiences in the fields of:
• rights at work • enterprise, microfinance and local development • employment and skills development • social protection • social dialogue, tripartism, labour law and labour administration • workers’ and employers’ organizations • gender and non-discrimination • sustainable development and governance • learning methodology and technology
Regular programmes are offered in a multicultural and multilingual environment at the campus or through e-learning. Tailor-made programmes are offered at the organizational, national or regional level.
Areas of Expertise
• Decent work and sustainable development • Employment and labour market policies • Enterprise Development • Gender, equality and diversity • Green jobs • Informal Economy • International labour standards • Labour administration and labour inspection • Labour market statistics and analysis • Labour migration • Learning methodologies and technologies • Microfinance • Occupational safety and health • Rural development • Skills development and vocational training • Social and solidarity economy • Social dialogue and tripartism • Social protection • Strengthening employers' organizations • Strengthening workers' organizations • Unacceptable forms of work • Youth Employment • Procurement management • Project and programme cycle management • Job creation in fragile states
The Turin Campus
The various buildings are organized into five clusters, representing the world's continents: Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania. On this compact, functional campus, people come from all over the world to live and learn together in a stimulating international environment. Purpose-built rooms and state-of-the-art equipment help to maximize learning and knowledge. All residential services for a pleasant stay are available, including cultural and social events in the evenings and at week-ends. A Conference Centre is available to the United Nations system of organizations and other institutions for conferences, seminars, workshops and multimedia events. Additional conference facilities include 30 classrooms (for 20 to 350 people), seven with interpretation equipment and four with videoconference equipment. All are equipped with Internet, electronic presentation, slide show and video facilities.
