Simposio online de Educación para la Carrera y Orientación Profesional en LATAM 2022 - Latin America Regional Syposium (Recurring)
Spanish
Experts from many international, regional and national agencies generously share their views, experiences and findings on skills, helping policy-makers among other stakeholders to understand the linkages between education, training and the world of work, and how to integrate skills into national development planning to promote employment and economic growth.
Career guidance and employment services
Career guidance and counselling, career education and lifelong development of skills for employability are key for success in learning activities, effective career transitions, livelihood planning, entrepreneurship and in increasing labour market participation. They are instrumental in promoting skills utilization, recognition (RPL), as well as in improving enterprise human resource management.
Career development activities encompass a wide variety of support activities including career information and advice, counselling, work exposure (e.g. job shadowing, work experience periods), assessment, coaching, mentoring, professional networking, advocacy, basic and employability skills training (curricular and non-curricular) and entrepreneurship training. It is often an area which is fragmented across different ministries (e.g. education, TVET, employment, youth) requiring an effort to achieve the necessary coordination to provide adequate support to individuals during learning, employment and unemployment/inactivity periods.
Simposio Educación para la Carrera y Orientación Profesional en LATAM 2022 busca poner en el centro del debate el rol de la educación para la carrera y la orientación profesional (o laboral) como herramientas y estrategias para contribuir a mejorar los resultados de los sistemas educativos, de empleo y de las sociedades en su conjunto. Esto, desde la exploración de evidencias, desafíos y buenas prácticas, en consideración de los desarrollos que en esta materia existen en la región, así como también de las necesidades y particularidades de sus diversos pueblos.
OCIDES Foundation, in its role as "focal point" of Global Careers Month, is oriented to highlight experiences, research and policies, in consideration of the particular needs and developments that exist regarding career education and guidance in the LATAM region, and of its diverse communities.
