Welcome

The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Human Resources Development Working Group (HRDWG) was established in 1990 and conducts work programs on developing human resources, touching on issues ranging from education to labor to capacity building. In addition, the HRDWG is responsible for building cultural awareness and gender equity. The HRDWG conducts its work program through its three networks: the Capacity Building Network (CBN); the Education Network (EDNET); and the Labour and Social Protection Network (LSPN).

In 2009, APEC went to the United States to reaffirm its commitment and strengthen its thriving work on human resources development. The 31st APEC HRDWG Meeting (HRDWG31) took place in Chicago, Illinois, USA on 22-25 June 2009.

Approximately 120 HRD experts from APEC’s twenty-one member-economies attended to concertize the renewed vision and reinvigorated work plan of the HRDWG as steered by Lead Shepherd Alan Ginsburg of the US Department of Education.
