Abstract: 
Emerging economies face unique challenges in preparing their workforces for rapidly evolving job markets, driven by technological advancements and globalization. Lifelong learning models offer a strategic solution to up skilling and reskilling workers, enhancing employability, and fostering economic resilience. This paper explores innovative frameworks for embedding lifelong learning principles into national education policies, emphasizing skills development, adaptability, and workforce readiness. By aligning with global priorities for education-employment linkages, this research highlights actionable strategies for integrating formal, non-formal, and informal learning pathways to meet the demands of emerging economies.
