Case Study: UNESCO advances global skills tracking with Lightcast

UNESCO builds a Global Skills Tracker with Lightcast to address 450 million youth lacking skills

UNESCO faced the challenge of a growing gap between education systems and labor market demand, with millions of young people lacking the skills needed for employment. To support evidence-based policymaking, they partnered with vendor Lightcast to gain a real-time, global view of evolving skills needs.

Lightcast implemented the Global Skills Tracker, an online platform powered by its job posting analytics and skills taxonomy. This solution provides real-time insights into employer demand across countries and industries, enabling UNESCO and its stakeholders to better align education and training with the skills required for the future of work.
