WCO CUSTOMS WORK ORGANIZATION FORUM – BUILDING TOGETHER THE FUTURE OF WORK IN CUSTOMS

РУССКИЙ

Dear friends,

Due to my professional activity, from time to time I take part with interest in the scientific and practical events of the World Customs Organization (WCO), which I wrote about earlier. Usually, the WCO Secretariat sends an invitation in advance, followed by registration on the event (conference) page on the Internet. Option 1 – departure to the conference, option 2 – participation in the event virtually.

If participation in video mode is allowed, then on the eve of the event, the WCO Secretariat usually sends a link to connect to watch the conference, which is less expensive. However, in this case, you can forget about new working contacts with colleagues from the “scientific center” as part of the event.

More recently, I discovered that the WCO Secretariat make the past conference video available in the Internet. This work is usually made by its Capacity Building Directorate. I believe that for students, graduate students and teachers this is a great opportunity to learn first-hand about topical issues in the development of customs in the world.

Today I recommend you to make acquaintance with the WCO Customs’ Work Organization Forum (CWOF) results, which aims to reimagine the future of work in Customs and to launch discussions on the way forward for work setup, workplace design and workforce management in the “new normal”.

The first meeting of the WCO CWOF was held virtually on the 13th of December, 2022. The meeting brought together 700 registered participants representing 169 countries around the world. Participants were Directors General, Commissioners, Directors, Human Capital Management professionals, Customs specialists, Professors, Consultants etc., from Customs administrations, the private sector, international organizations, academia, private consultants, and civil society.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the materials of the past forum, which were kindly provided by the WCO Secretariat.

Forum language is English. I am sure that this is a good incentive for students and graduate students to start learning foreign languages. I believe that in the department of foreign languages, for example, the Russian Customs Academy, the organization of viewing such conferences is the best practical training.
