Governments hold a wealth of knowledge on skills development, and are increasingly realizing the value of learning from each others’ experiences. Their policy documents, programme evaluations, and research findings contain their experience and ideas on how to better link skills to employment
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
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.

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.
Working papers, reports, and other publications from international organizations, academic institutions and bilateral agencies. Research findings to stimulate informed debate on skills, employment and productivity issues.
El Instituto Técnico de Capacitación y Productividad (INTECAP), como institución líder en formación profesional y desde el campo de su competencia, la capacitación y la asistencia técnica, ha buscado nuevos métodos, modelos, técnicas y estrategias de aprendizaje para contribuir a mejorar el desempeño del talento humano guatemalteco y así cubrir las necesidades de las personas y de las empresas.
El método de prospección se utiliza como herramienta para la identificación de tendencias de difusión tecnológica e impacto en las principales ocupaciones de un sector específico. Con el apoyo de OIT/CINTERFOR, el Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje Industrial de BRASIL (SENAI), transfirió a INTECAP dicha metodología a través de talleres presenciales. En este caso específico, el ejercicio de prospección, se realizó en el sector turismo debido a la importancia que éste tiene como segundo generador de divisas para el país. La formación en turismo precisa de una reorientación y reestructuración para lograr que sea más competitivo, con capacidades de innovación y que tenga una visión del nuevo mercado de trabajo.
En el presente estudio se determinaron las tecnologías emergentes del sector turismo que probablemente serán utilizadas en Guatemala dentro de los diez próximos años, utilizando para su identificación y validación la técnica del panel de especialistas y la de entrevista directa.
