TVeT Forum discussion: Policy assessment and guidance for developing green human capital – Are countries on track?
English
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.
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.
Sectoral approaches
Matching skills to labour market demand requires reliable sectoral and occupational information and institutions that connect employers with training providers. Sector based strategies and institutions have proved effective in engaging all stakeholders in promoting both pre-employment training and life-long learning.

Join the UNESCO-UNEVOC online discussion around the recently developed framework called ‘Advancing Green Human Capital - A framework for policy analysis and guidance’ from 1 December 2017 to 30 January 2018.
UNESCO-UNEVOC is hosting an online discussion around the recently developed framework called ‘Advancing Green Human Capital - A framework for policy analysis and guidance’, see link to publication located on right-hand margin of this page. The framework was developed jointly by UNESCO, UNEVOC, the ILO and French partners--- Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition and the French Development Agency - to help guide the process of setting up a roadmap for the necessary adaptation of skills to the demands of the green economy and sustainable development. The discussion will take place on the UNESCO-UNEVOC TVeT Forum.
The discussion is going to be led by Ms Isabelle Richaud from the French Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition to moderate the flow of knowledge and information during this period.
The Platform for Advancing Green Human Capital invites all policy representatives and other relevant stakeholders to join the discussion. The aims of this discussion are:
• to raise awareness on the potential of strategically-linked policies to the development of a green human capital;
• to collect feedback on the usefulness of the developed framework in the context of (i) pushing or inspiring new policy considerations in the country; or (ii) enhancing present TVET and skills development policies;
• to improve understanding of the evidences of practice, policies at play, lessons and challenges surrounding implementation of such a framework at the country-level; and,
• to gather concrete suggestions on measures and potential contexts of use of the framework, based on the policy action areas, phases of implementation and trigger points identified in the draft framework.
