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.

UNESCO Research Project on Lifelong Learning and Employment Prospects/Employability in the Asia and Pacific Region This publication is the first case study report developed as part of UNESCO Research Project on Lifelong Learning and Employment Prospects/Employability in the Asia and Pacific Region. The project aims to support the formulation of policies that promote lifelong learning (LLL) as well as strategies and programmes to enhance employability and employment prospects of working-age individuals in Asia and the Pacific.

The objectives of the case study are: (i) to identify the relationship between LLL and employment prospects in policy and practice; and (ii) to document existing LLL policies, strategies and programmes that are offered at national, regional and local levels through formal, non-formal and informal channels, and which contribute to the enhancement of employment prospects and employability of working-age citizens in Australia.

The report outlines the structure, financing and participants of the education and training system in Australia and describes programmes and approaches to lifelong learning and employability. It also examines the roles of government, industry and education providers and the curriculum challenges and social issues in the system.

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.

Monitoring and evaluation

Thumbnail

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.

The report on the recent Australian experience with activation policies contains valuable lessons for other countries that need to improve the effectiveness of employment services and control benefit expenditure. It provides overview and assessment of labour market policies in Australia including the main institutions, benefit system, training programmes, employment incentives, and disability employment assistance.

Australia is unique among OECD countries in that its mainstream employment services are all delivered by over 100 for-profit and non-profit providers competing in a 'quasi-market', with their operations financed by service fees, employment outcome payments, and a special fund for measures that tackle jobseekers’ barriers to employment. In most other OECD countries, these services are delivered by the Public Employment Service. In the mid 2000s, several benefits previously paid without a job-search requirement were closed or reformed, bringing more people into the effective labour force.

Australia now has one of the highest employment rates in the OECD and this report concludes that its activation system deserves some of the credit for this relatively good performance. The Job Services Australia model, introduced in 2009, reinforced the focus on employment outcomes for highly-disadvantaged groups. This report assesses the latest model for activation and puts forward some recommendations to improve its effectiveness.

The paper provides an evaluation of the Skills Formation Strategies (SFS) model in Queensland, Australia, examining its strengths and challenges, and discusses ways in which the model can be improved upon and disseminated. It concludes with critical success factors for policy makers. The review is followed by a commentary piece on Queensland’s SFS, approaching them within the broader Australian skills policy context. It provides contextual information on skills in Australia and sets out Skills Formation Strategies as an alternative approach to skills, discussing the factors leading to its establishment within a fast changing labour market.

"Job placement" has been the traditional goal of labour and employment policies, but this report argues otherwise. To stay competitive in a globalised economy, governments must also strive to enhance the skills of workers, increase their productivity and provide upward mobility to immigrants and the disadvantaged. This report provides valuable insights into how labour policies can be expanded to meet economic development and social cohesion goals, while also reconciling national and local concerns. Studies from seven OECD countries are presented (Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States), each analysing attempts to expand workforce development policies and bridge the gap between national and local initiatives. Included are various types of government/private sector partnerships in the United States, regional training in France and Australia’s efforts to customise policies to local needs. Based on the country studies, the report then makes specific recommendations and suggestions on how workforce development policies can be expanded and improved.

OECD Economics Department Working Papers, No. 1025 Shows that Australia's productivity growth has decelerated markedly around the turn of the century, and that part of the decline is probably temporary, but raising multifactor productivity is key to ensure that living standards continue to grow strongly, especially if the currently strong terms of trade weaken over time. Argues that ensuring responsive, high quality, vocational and higher education systems is indispensable to long-term growth. Argues also that raising the completion rate of vocational students, and enhancing the level of collaboration among the key innovation players are priorities. Demonstrates that the productivity enhancing effects of infrastructure could be boosted by more effective and strategic planning, new sources of funding, and better use of existing capacity.

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

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.

Anticipating and matching skills needs

Thumbnail

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.

OECD Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Working Papers, 2012/01 The report summarises the analysis, findings and policy recommendations from the project on Climate Change, Employment and Local Development undertaken by the OECD Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme. The project comprised a study visit, a series of interviews with public and private stakeholders at national and local level, two surveys, and various workshops and events. Four countries participated in the full project: Australia (Sydney), Poland (Podlaskie/ Pomorskie), Spain (Extremadura) and United Kingdom (London).
The report suggests that the transition to a green economy will not necessarily mean job losses, but there are some barriers that need to be identified and overcome in order to ensure an effective transition. The need to align local and national strategies towards green growth, building strong partnerships, identify transferable skills, and better target up-skilling programmes, are some of the recommendations emanating from this report. These and other recommendations are illustrated by good practice models identified across the globe. The report also suggests different approaches that have proven to be positive.
