Keynote remarks by José M. Salazar-Xirinachs, Assistant Director-General for Policy at the ILO, at the “Global Trade and Development Week 2014”, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
| Abstract: |
In his remarks, ILO Assistant Director-General for Policy, José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, emphasized how skills and education need to be addressed differently today than 20 or 30 years ago. He referred to the “21 Century Skills” that involve new ways of thinking and working, a new global vision as well as new tools for working based on new information and communications technologies.
Among the key challenges highlighted by Salazar-Xirinachs is skills mismatch which partly results from the inability of the education and training system to adapt to these new realities.
Addressing the disconnects is not only a matter of public policy but also one that involves private sector engagement and responsibility, according to Salazar-Xirinachs.
He pointed out that companies should not wait at the end of the education and training pipeline for graduates with the right skills or look for new talents abroad, but should take a broader view of their workforce needs. Salazar-Xirinachs stated they should build public-private partnerships, engage pro-actively with education and training providers in order to align education with the skills needed for employment and make efforts to combine formal education and training with on the job apprenticeship opportunities.
