Details

Dear Bidder,

The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator. Below is a summary of the work to be performed:

The ILO, through its InterGen Project, seeks an editor to provide professional English editing services for a multi-country research report prepared by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training (KRIVET) on public employment services (PES) and active labour market programmes (ALMPs) for older workers.

The assignment aims to produce a polished, publication-quality manuscript for an international policy audience. The editor will improve grammar, clarity, fluency, coherence, readability and stylistic consistency, while preserving the report's research findings and policy recommendations, in accordance with relevant ILO editorial standards.

Applicants must have previous editorial experience with the ILO and submit three examples of ILO publications on which they have worked in an editorial capacity.

If you are interested, please express interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed terms of reference and other relevant information in the ILO e-sourcing platform. Please submit your proposal before the specified deadline. Thank you.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this education & training opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
