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
Apprenticeships
Quality apprenticeships based on robust social dialogue and public-private partnerships can improve employment prospects for young people while developing high level skills identified by employers as necessary for growth and increased productivity. Both informal and regulated apprenticeship systems are important learning resources enabling young people to overcome the work-inexperience trap, gain new and enhanced skills and recognized qualifications.
Upgrading informal apprenticeships and expanding regulated ones is a cost-effective way to invest in a country’s skills base, promote economic growth and enhance the employability of youth.
Youth employability
Globally, nearly 68 million young women and men are looking for and available for work, and an estimated 123 million young people are working but living in poverty. The number who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) stands at 267 million, a majority of whom are young women. Significantly, young people are three times as likely as adults (25 years and older) to be unemployed.
Skills development is a primary means of enabling young people to make a smooth transition to work. A comprehensive approach is required to integrate young women and men in the labour market, including relevant and quality skills training, labour market information, career guidance and employment services, recognition of prior learning, incorporating entrepreneurship with training and effective skills forecasting. Improved basic education and core work skills are particularly important to enable youth to engage in lifelong learning as well as transition to the labour market.
Research papers
Working papers, reports, and other publications from international organizations, academic institutions and bilateral agencies. Research findings to stimulate informed debate on skills, employment and productivity issues.
Este manual nace de la necesidad detectada por el Centro Interamericano para el Desarrollo del Conocimiento en la Formación Profesional de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo – OIT/Cinterfor, de dotar de recursos prácticos a docentes, formadores y facilitadores que tienen la misión de fomentar el desarrollo de competencias que habiliten el ingreso, mantención y progreso de jóvenes y adultos al mercado laboral. Contiene principios orientadores que permiten al facilitador contextualizar la práctica dentro del enfoque de formación por competencias, recomendaciones para realizar una adecuada gestión del aprendizaje, así como también del ambiente de aprendizaje durante las sesiones de trabajo.
El manual ofrece una definición de cada una de las competencias que se trabajarán y un set de cinco actividades de aprendizaje por cada una de las seis competencias de empleabilidad seleccionadas. Finalmente, se entregan una serie de recomendaciones para la evaluación de aprendizajes en el contexto de la formación por competencias.
La elaboración estuvo a cargo de Rafaella Sarroca con el apoyo y orientación de Fernando Vargas, Especialista en formación profesional de OIT/Cinterfor.
