GSMA Capacity Building: Induction Pathway (IPW)

Welcome to the GSMA Capacity Building Induction Pathway Programme (IPW).

Background

The continual rapid pace of change across the mobile sector has presented challenges for regulatory authorities as knowledge gaps have continued to grow in key mobile policy areas. Since 2014, the GSMA’s Capacity Building Programme has sought to address this by designing training courses exclusively for policymakers and regulators working within the telecommunications field.

These short courses – accredited by the UKTA – have been delivered to thousands of regulatory professionals from over 180 countries. Training is provided both in person and remotely, and the GSMA work with various partners worldwide to ensure the delivery of impactful training at scale.

Induction Pathway (IPW)
