ILO
The International Labour Organization is the tripartite U.N. agency that promotes Decent Work through employment, social security, labour standards and social dialogue. Its work on skills development is guided by the conceptual framework on Skills to improve productivity, employment growth, and development agreed in 2008 by representatives of Governments, Employers’ Associations and Workers’ Associations. Research, policy advice, and pilot projects and technical cooperation programmes to apply good practices in different circumstances across its 185 member States aims to boost the employability of workers, the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises, and the inclusiveness of economic growth. The ILO Secretariat in offices in 40 countries works with Ministries of Labour, employers’ organizations, and trade unions to integrate skills development into national and sector development strategies in order to better meet current labour market needs and to prepare for the jobs of the future; to expand access to employment-related training so that youth, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups are better able to acquire skills and secure productive and decent work; and to improve the ability of public employment services to provide career guidance, maintain labour exchange services, and deliver active labour market programmes.For more information regarding the ILO’s work on skills and employability go to: http://www.ilo.org/skills/lang--en/index.htm; for ILO/Cinterfor's Knowledge Management Plarform, see: http://www.oitcinterfor.org
Anticipating and matching skills needs
Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.
Promotional material
Presentations, discussion papers, meeting reports, promotional materials, videos, fact sheets, brochures and newsletters on skills development for employment.
En la última década, más allá de los avances en materia de crecimiento económico, baja del desempleo, reducción de la pobreza y mejoramiento de otros indicadores laborales, América Latina y el Caribe sigue siendo una zona con amplias desigualdades. La atención a dichas desigualdades demanda políticas públicas integradas, tanto económicas como sociales que promuevan la inclusión social, el trabajo decente y el empleo productivo, así como un entorno propicio para empresas sostenibles.
La previsión de escenarios futuros en el ámbito del desarrollo de las competencias laborales es uno de los insumos clave para la toma de decisiones informada relativas a tales políticas. En este sentido, esta edición de Notas pretende orientar la discusión en torno a las herramientas de anticipación de las necesidades formativas como parte de las estrategias que atiendan las brechas de competencias existentes.
