In today’s episode, World Bank's Global Lead for Technology and Innovation in Education, Bob Hawkins, hosts a fascinating conversation on the intersection of technology, skills, and employability. World Bank’s Guillermo Tovar explores Ethiopia’s Education and Skills for Employability (EASE) project and its innovative use of results-based financing to train and place youth in employment. Rita Fennelly Atkinson, from Digital Promise, shares insights on leveraging micro-credentials and digital badging to recognize skills and enhance employability. Along the way, we tackle key questions like how to measure digital skills, the role of lifelong learning, and—on a lighter note—whether we need an official "results-based financing expert" badge.
