International organizations

Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.

Older workers

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.

People with disabilities

Thumbnail

Of an estimated 1 billion people with disabilities in the world today, some 785 million are of working age. While many are successfully employed and fully integrated into society, most face a disproportionate level of poverty and unemployment. This is a massive loss both to them and their countries. A strategy of including people with disabilities in training and employment promotion policies, combined with targeted supports to ensure their participation, can help disabled persons obtain productive mainstream employment.

Youth employability

Thumbnail

Globally, nearly 68 million young women and men are looking for and available for work,  and an estimated 123 million young people are working but living in poverty. The number who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) stands at 267 million, a majority of whom are young women. Significantly, young people are three times as likely as adults (25 years and older) to be unemployed.

Skills development is a primary means of enabling young people to make a smooth transition to work. A comprehensive approach is required to integrate young women and men in the labour market, including relevant and quality skills training, labour market information, career guidance and employment services, recognition of prior learning, incorporating entrepreneurship with training and effective skills forecasting. Improved basic education and core work skills are particularly important to enable youth to engage in lifelong learning as well as transition to the labour market.

Kazakhstan has made major economic and social advances in the past decade and a half. Yet, Kazakhstan needs to sustain high growth rates in the future to converge towards the living standards of OECD countries. This report provides a review of the labour market and social policies that could help Kazakhstan in its dual objectives of building more inclusive labour markets, while maintaining a path of strong growth. It explores the role that institutions and policies play in helping vulnerable groups to access gainful and productive jobs, particularly focusing on three key groups: youth, older workers, and people with disabilities, and provides a comprehensive set of policies to increase the employment and employability of these groups. Evaluations and lessons from innovative experiences in OECD and other countries are used to formulate recommendations tailored to Kazakhstan.

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

The youth employment crisis presents a major challenge for the future of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. At the same time, workers are experiencing a lack of decent work and face long-term social exclusion. Aggravated by the global economic and financial crisis in the labour markets of CIS, the unemployment rate is projected to remain at just over 18 per cent until 2018.

The situation requires governments, employers and workers to promote, create and maintain decent and productive jobs. In the resolution 'The youth employment crisis: A call for action', adopted by the International Labour Conference in 2012, representatives of the Governments, employers and workers of 185 countries, called for urgent and immediate action to reverse the youth employment crisis. This note presents the results of that initiative.

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.

Предприимчивые сообщества являются добровольными, прогрессивными, инновационными, локально ориентированными и активными партнерствами, которые обеспечивают эффективное и устойчивое трудоустройство путем развития местных человеческих ресурсов. Двухлетняя работа «Инициативы предприимчивых сообществ» подтвердила динамизм местных структур в мобилизации ресурсов для создания партнерств, способствующих развитию профессиональных навыков. Их влияние на свои территории удивительно: они создают рабочие места, развивают предпринимательство и формируют новые компетенции у студентов. Все это, безусловно, способствует экономическому росту и развитию, укреплению социальной сплоченности на местах.

This report presents the case studies of the People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia and Kazakhstan in their knowledge-based economy approaches. It identifies a range of policies and initiatives that these economies need to consider to strengthen innovation-led growth and make a transition from middle-income to high-income levels.

This report argues that it is absolutely essential for emerging economies in Asia to transition into Knowledge-Based Economies (KBE) to sustain their economic development, while preparing effectively for the future challenges of an increasingly connected global economy. In fact, pursuing KBE development could help emerging economies effectively position themselves better to capitalize on market opportunities by using their unique endowments and strengths. The times are opportune for Asia to accelerate knowledge based economy development.

OECD Reviews of Vocational Education and Training This review outlines the main features of Kazakhstan vocational education and training system, and compares its main features with those of other countries. It covers both the education system and the labour market. Drawing in the context of the wider OECD study, this review then provides a brief assessment of the main strengths of the system, and the policy challenges which need to be addressed by Kazakhstan in the future.

In Kazakhstan, VET has three main functions: i) qualification: to provide the population with the skills needed to foster economic prosperity and social stability; ii) employment: to help the population to find a job suited to their preferences and responsive to societal needs; and iii) integration: to help individuals to insert successfully in the society (Ouzoun, 2010). Students wishing to enter VET institutions in Kazakhstan may do so either at upper secondary level (currently after 9th grade) or after upper secondary schooling (currently after 11 th grade) (OECD 2013). Overall, upper-secondary and post-secondary VET are provided at the same institutions in Kazakhstan.

This document is a product of Kazakhstan’s Sector Competitiveness Strategy project (co-financed by the European Union), and falls under the confines of the OECD Eurasia Competitiveness Programme. The Kazakhstani Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) sector represents approximately 6% of the value added in the business sector and is overwhelmingly dominated by telecommunications, which represents 83% of the total, compared to only 57% in OECD economies. Developing ICT in Kazakhstan would however require a further development of skills, notably by upgrading the country’s secondary vocational education and its tertiary education, building on reforms already carried out since its independence.

This handbook was produced in consultation with the government of Kazakhstan and with private sector participation. It aims to present solutions for the development of human capital through partnerships between the public and private sectors in Kazakhstan. As an illustration of this approach, it recommends the initiation of a public-private partnership via the creation of a business linkage programme for skills development in the Information Technology (IT) sector. The proposed programme is aimed at developing business linkages between local IT companies and international IT firms through skills development activities, peer learning, matchmaking and promotional activities that would help participating companies exchange experiences and information. Based on the literature, international case studies and the specificities of the Kazakhstani IT sector, a tailored proposal was designed.
