ESCWA and the Arab Labour Organization are organizing this technical workshop to support the modernization of the Arab Standard Classification of Occupations 2008. The workshop aims to ensure that the classification reflects changing labour markets, technological advances and emerging skills requirements in Arab countries, while promoting regional cooperation and evidence-based occupational classification.
Experts explore data-driven classification methods through technical discussions and practical applications, drawing on the Skills Monitor portal and labour market intelligence capabilities of ESCWA. Participants examine how to identify emerging occupations, analyse occupational skills and align labour market evidence with the updated classification framework.
