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

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.

Standards, curriculum and learning resources

Thumbnail

The standard or outcome-based approach to curriculum development is a worldwide trend which reflects a paradigm shift from input to outcome-based provision, from teaching to learning, from content to process focused/performance-oriented learning experience. In this new paradigm the learner is expected to demonstrate what he/she knows and is able to do against the standards established at national level. Adopting an outcome-based approach for curriculum development is an effective way to address potential mismatches between technical and vocational education and training (TVET) provision and the needs of the labour market; between irrelevant/ obsolete training programmes, and employers’ and learners’ needs and expectations.

Les normes professionnelles suivantes ont été élaborées par des comités techniques tripartites au Ghana, au Nigéria et au Togo avec le soutien de l'OIT au cours de la période 2021-2022 dans le cadre du projet SKILL-UP financé par l'Agence norvégienne de coopération au développement dans le but de promouvoir des partenariats pour les compétences et la migration dans l'Afrique de l'Ouest.

Les normes professionnelles minimales harmonisées pour maçons et assistants maçons ont été élaborées sur la base des normes professionnelles nationales des trois pays, avec pour objectif d'atteindre 70 à 80 pour cent de points communs avec les normes nationales existantes. Les normes professionnelles minimales harmonisées peuvent aider les pays qui élaborent des normes ou révisent les normes nationales existantes en comparant et en prenant en compte les normes similaires disponibles dans la région. Elles peuvent également être utilisées dans l'enseignement et la formation techniques et professionnels pour l'élaboration de programmes d'études et d'évaluations fondés sur des normes. Les normes peuvent également soutenir les partenariats de compétences sur la migration dans la région en étant utilisées dans les mécanismes de validation des acquis de l’expérience des travailleurs migrants.

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.

Harmonized minimum occupational standards for assistant masons and masons
The following occupational standards were developed by tripartite technical committees in Ghana Nigeria and Togo with the support of the ILO during the period 2021–2022 as part of the SKILL-UP Project financed by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation in an effort to promote skills partnerships on migration in the West African region. The harmonized occupational minimal standards for assistant masons and masons have been developed based on the national occupational standards of the three countries, with a target of achieving 70 to 80 per cent commonality with existing national standards. The harmonized occupational minimal standard can help countries that are developing standards or reviewing existing national standards through comparison and consideration of similar standards available in the region. It can also be used in technical vocational education and training for the development of standards-based curricula, and assessments. The standards can also support skills partnerships on migration in the region by being used in mechanisms of recognition of prior learning of migrant workers.

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.

Lifelong learning

Thumbnail

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.

Tripartite workshop for the pilot on recognition and harmonization of occupational standards in the agriculture and construction sectors of Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo

Under the Global Programme on Skills and Lifelong Learning (GPSL3) funded by Norway, tripartite constituents from Ghana, Nigeria and Togo met in Accra on the 30th of November 2022, to strengthen the skills partnership between the three countries active since 2019 and promote skills portability and recognition in the region.

 
This workshop concluded a series of online and country-level face-to-face consultations and exchange processes with representatives of government, workers\' and employers\' organizations from each country to increase skills portability in West Africa and through a skills partnership on migration. The partnership idea between the three countries was developed at the subregional tripartite workshop held in Abuja in September 2019. The purpose of this technical workshop will be for representatives of the three countries to present the skills ecosystems in their respective countries to the other representatives and to discuss the next steps and strategy to promote skills portability and recognition of the harmonized minimum standards at the national levels/ regional levels in the agriculture and construction sectors. The tripartite workshop was attended by representatives of:
  • The Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (Ghana),
  • The Ghana Trades Union Congress (Ghana),
  • Ghana Employers\' Association (Ghana),
  • The Nigeria Labour Congress (Nigeria),
  • The National Board of Technical Education (Nigeria),
  • The Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (Nigeria), 
  • Le Ministère De L\'enseignement Technique, de la Formation et de L\'insertion Professionnelles (Togo),
  • Le Conseil National du Patronat du Togo (Togo)
  • La Confédération Nationale des Travailleurs du Togo

The workshop led to the Validation of the harmonized minimum occupational standards for poultry farming, assistant mason, mason, and plumber, the development of recommendations to further strengthen the skills partnership between Ghana, Nigeria and Togo and the construction of a three-year roadmap for mutual recognition of certifications and youth training in the three countries.
