Local to Global Collaboration: Achieving Access to Education Through Sustainable Development and Skills-to-Employment Ecosystem
In today's interconnected world, achieving access to quality education for all is not only an ethical obligation but also essential to drive global economic growth and reduce poverty. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) focuses on ensuring inclusive and equitable education, acting as a catalyst for the other SDGs supporting vulnerable communities worldwide. However, the achievement of this goal requires strong collaboration among governments, private sectors, and civil society organizations, and it's at this intersection that Skills Council of Canada (SCC) proudly stands.
The global learning crisis is a daunting challenge, but when we all work together to surpass limiting barriers and adopt a local to global approach, true change can be achieved. The integration of technology with education, especially through education technology (EdTech) companies, can play a significant role in addressing these challenges. By fostering partnerships between governments, educational institutions, and other stakeholders, bespoke solutions and increased access to education become possible.
At SCC, our mission aligns with the United Nations' goals and targets, which emphasize:
1. Equitable and inclusive education at all levels
2. Quality early childhood development and care
3. Equal access to technical, vocational, and tertiary education
4. Increased adult literacy and numeracy skills
5. Gender equality and inclusivity in educational access
6. Quality education through adequate infrastructure, materials, and teacher support
7. Global citizenship and sustainable development education
Our skills-to-employment ecosystem provides the framework, structure, and educational resources necessary to drive local-to-global solutions that vitalize the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Our sustainable business model pivots around collaboration, and it's through this lens that we invite partners to work with us in addressing the world's education-related challenges. With thousands of skills development resources available, spanning soft skills, technical skills, vocational skills, and industry-specific training, SCC is primed to create positive change on an individual, community, and global level.
If your organization is interested in collaborating and supporting the efforts pioneered by Skills Council of Canada, there is a wealth of opportunities available.
