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

Career guidance and employment services

Thumbnail

Career guidance and counselling, career education and lifelong development of skills for employability are key for success in learning activities, effective career transitions, livelihood planning, entrepreneurship and in increasing labour market participation. They are instrumental in promoting skills utilization, recognition (RPL), as well as in improving enterprise human resource management.

Career development activities encompass a wide variety of support activities including career information and advice, counselling, work exposure (e.g. job shadowing, work experience periods), assessment, coaching, mentoring, professional networking, advocacy, basic and employability skills training (curricular and non-curricular) and entrepreneurship training. It is often an area which is fragmented across different ministries (e.g. education, TVET, employment, youth) requiring an effort to achieve the necessary coordination to provide adequate support to individuals during learning, employment and unemployment/inactivity periods.

The world of learning and the world of work are separate but linked. While one involves learning, the other produces goods and services. Neither can thrive without the other. Strong partnerships between government, employers and workers help ensure the relevance of training to the changing needs of enterprises and labour markets.

Workers' organizations

Learning new skills and upgrading existing ones help workers maintain their employability and improve their standard of living. Trade unions play a key role in increasing workplace-based training opportunities. The Global KSP shares, among other resource items, case studies, good practices and research provided by trade unions that highlight their involvement in promoting training at individual workplaces, social dialogue and collective bargaining on skills issues, and participating in developing skills policies and strengthening training institutions.

Migrant workers

Thumbnail

According to the ILO global estimates on migrant workers, there were around 164 million migrant workers in 2017. 

Migrant workers contribute to growth and development in their countries of destination, while countries of origin greatly benefit from their remittances and the skills acquired during their migration experience. Yet, many migrant workers face challenges in accessing quality training and decent jobs including under-utilization of skills, a lack of employment or training opportunities, lack of information, and exploitation of low-skilled workers.

To address these challenges, countries need to strengthen skills anticipation systems to inform migration policies, increase access to education and training, and establish bilateral or multilateral recognition of qualifications and skills.

This document was originally prepared as a background paper for the ILO Workshop on the role of social partners in skills development, recognition and matching for migrant workers: A contribution to the Global Skills Partnership. The objective of the event was to discuss the role of social partners in supporting skills partnerships and programmes for facilitating skills development, recognition and matching. The paper was intended to foster debate, which would feed into developing viable approaches and policy options on how to address these issues in concrete terms through the strong involvement of the social partners. It was also an opportunity to discuss how the Global Skills Partnership on Migration (GSP), forged among the ILO, IOM, UNESCO, IOE and ITUC, could support this process. Following the Workshop, the paper was updated, taking on board the discussions that took place during the event, as well as all comments and inputs received from the participants.

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.

This brief focuses on the important role that active labour market policies (ALMPs) can play within this overarching strategy if they are integrated into income support measures. ALMPs include employment subsidies, start-up incentives, public employment programmes, labour market services, and training programmes. The brief discusses how ALMPs and income support can come together to support workers in the face of the pandemic and sustainably improve their employment and life trajectories, particularly in emerging and developing countries.

Initial education and training and lifelong learning benefit individuals, employers and society as a whole. Economic principles dictate that the costs for services with public and private benefits should be shared between public and private funding, or else too little training will be provided or taken up. Effective mechanisms for financing skills development vary according to countries’ economic and political circumstances and the degree and level of social dialogue established.

The East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region is very diverse and there is a wide range in the extent to which firms across these countries identify the education level of their work force as being a major constraint. However, developing skills, including vocational and technical skills, and enhancing employability are clear strategic objectives in the EAP region.Countries in the region face strong pressures to expand their technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems and enhance their quality, while also facing spending pressures on basic and higher education. As this demand increases, the need for sustainable financing for TVET becomes more urgent; this is not only about ensuring that sufficient and predictable revenue streams exist to fund training programs, but perhaps just as importantly about how financing mechanisms themselves can be strongly linked to achieving policy objectives of making TVET systems more accessible, equitable, efficient, demand-driven,responsive and relevant.

There is a critical need for a greater overall investment in education and training, particularly in developing countries. Education and training investments should be closely linked to economic and employment growth strategies and programmes. Responsibility should be shared between the government (primary responsibility), enterprises, the social partners, and the individual. To make lifelong learning for all a reality, countries will need to make major reforms of their vocational and education and training systems. School-to-work schemes for young people should integrate education with workplace learning. Training systems need to become more flexible and responsive to rapidly changing skill requirements. Reforms should also focus on how learning can be facilitated, not just on training for specific occupational categories.

Access to training

Thumbnail

Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.  

This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.

La comparación de estadísticas de formación entre las instituciones de la región ha resultado particularmente difícil por no disponerse de unidades de medición estandarizadas e indicadores que puedan facilitar dicho cotejo. OIT/Cinterfor ha realizado el esfuerzo de organizar en ciertas categorías desagregadas la información compartida por estas instituciones, lo que permitió arribar a un conjunto de conclusiones que aquí se plantean.

Este material es producto de dicho análisis y sintetiza los hechos más destacados de la formación profesional en nuestra región durante 2017. Toma como fuente la información estadística de las instituciones de formación profesional recabada durante el año 2018, donde participaron 24 instituciones que representan a 17 países.

This training course will examine methodologies, institutional arrangements and models for analyzing the skills and competences needed for developing key economic sectors and industries.

The International Training Centre of the ILO (ITC/ILO) together with the European Training Foundation (ETF) is organizing a course on ‘Sectorial approaches to skills development’, a highly participatory training to learn about:

- The drivers of change that impact the skills supply and demand at a sectoral level;
- Methodologies, mechanisms, and modalities needed to identify labour market imbalances;
- How to recognize which skills will be needed in the future, and act through a macroeconomic policy framework.

The training will rely on a variety of innovative learning methodologies and group presentations, allowing for knowledge-sharing and reflection. Participants will be encouraged to bring interesting or relevant documents, such as country-specific skills anticipation methodologies.

The deadline to apply is 16 August.

In the field of human capital development, and more specifically vocational education and training (VET), financing is made more complex by the high multiplicity of stakeholders contributing to and benefitting from VET. Therefore, there is no simple approach defined yet to help partner countries address financing in a holistic and strategic manner. This paper aims to pave the way for such an approach. First, there needs to be a common understanding of what is at stake in the area of financing. Second, a methodology is needed to guide stakeholders through the analysis, decision-making and implementation phases in this field. After elaborating on the rationale for investing in the area of financing, this paper outlines the challenges that many partner countries face in financing their VET systems and policies. The paper provides a working definition of the term ‘financing’ and proposes a methodological approach to support the policy dialogue on financing in partner countries.

Part of the series: Getting Skills Right The present report examines how governments use financial incentives to promote a better alignment between labour market needs, on the one hand, and the supply of skills, on the other. In doing so, it identifies: i) innovative models that countries may be interested in learning from; ii) best practice in the design and use of financial incentives; iii) framework conditions for their effective use; and iv) limitations and risks in the use of financial incentives.

OECD Tax Policy Studies, No. 24. This Tax Policy Study on Taxation and Skills examines how tax policy can encourage skills development in OECD countries. This study also assesses the returns to tertiary and adult education and examines how these returns are shared between governments and students. The study builds indicators that examine incentives for individuals and governments to invest in education. These indicators take into account the various financial costs of skills investments for individuals such as foregone after-tax earnings and tuition fees, as well as whether investments are financed with savings or with student loans. Costs borne by governments such as grants, scholarships, lost taxes, and skills tax expenditures are also accounted for. The indicators also incorporate the returns to skills investments for individuals and governments through higher after-tax wages and higher tax revenues respectively.
