International organizations

Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.

Measuring the outcomes of skills systems, policies and targeted programmes is essential in order to monitor and improve their effectiveness and relevance. Elements of sound assessment processes include: institutions to sustain feedback from employers and trainees; mechanisms to track labour market outcomes of training and systems of accountability that use this information; and, quantitative and qualitative labour market information and its dissemination to all stakeholders.

The report maps institutions and policies in vocational and technical education and training in Brazil and assesses recent advances and challenges in their delivery. The report is based on interviews with clients and stakeholders, including MEC-SETEC (Secretaria de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica—Office of Vocational and Technological Education), and a review of secondary materials. The report has two main goals. First, it seeks to lay out Brazil’s system of VET, describing the policies and institutions involved in its delivery, but with a special focus on the upper secondary level (cursos técnicos de nível médio, hereafter simply technical education).1 Second, it seeks to identify challenges constraining the effective delivery of VET and suggests relevant international good practices for overcoming selected issues. It concludes with specific recommendations for the implementation of PRONATEC.
