As the world of work transforms, the Global Skills Forum 2025 provides a global stage for bold conversations and breakthrough thinking on the future of skills. 

This collaborative effort with the ILO and the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) and hosted in Malaysia by the Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) under the Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia (KESUMA) convenes some 49 countries, ministers, experts and industry and global leaders on one platform to accelerate global efforts to transform skills development by rethinking and revolutionizing the role of the private sector, specifically in leading Sector Skills Bodies (SSBs) and other forms of public-private partnerships and promoting innovation and digitalisation.

The Forum provides an unparalleled opportunity to delve into success factors and strategies, examine good practices and innovations, and foster global collaboration for enhanced private sector engagement in skills development.
