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.

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.

Esta discusión invita a los representantes de los gobiernos, a las organizaciones de empleadores y de trabajadores, a los profesionales de la educación y formación técnica y a los instructores, a las ONG y a las personas, entre otros, a compartir y discutir cómo mantener el aprendizaje continuo y el desarrollo de competencias entre aquéllos que se incorporan a la fuerza de trabajo, los aprendices y los trabajadores en tiempos de crisis. También tiene por objeto analizar prácticas innovadoras pertinentes y oportunas en materia de aprendizaje y educación.

El mundo del trabajo está viéndose profundamente afectado por el COVID-19. No sólo corre peligro la salud de millones de personas, sino que también están en juego sus medios de sustento y su bienestar a largo plazo. En las últimas semanas, la pandemia del coronavirus (COVID-19) ha planteado retos únicos para todos los tipos y niveles de aprendizaje, incluida la escolarización, la EFTP, los aprendizajes y el desarrollo de competencias. Además, también ha estimulado la discusión sobre la necesidad de acelerar la innovación en el aprendizaje en línea, y la facilitación de EFTP y de formación para la adquisición de competencias. Para más información sobre el impacto más amplio de COVID-19 en el empleo y los trabajos, y sobre las posibles medidas de mitigación, descargue la nota informativa de la OIT que figura más abajo.

En este contexto, tenemos la oportunidad de analizar el concepto de “aprendizaje y formación en cualquier lugar, en cualquier momento”, que se trata de una idea central para el concepto de aprendizaje permanente.

 

Debemos explorar asimismo metodologías de aprendizaje innovadoras para los aprendices y los trabajadores que adquieren o mejoran sus competencias fundamentalmente en el lugar de trabajo.

Esta discusión electrónica pretende aumentar los conocimientos sobre prácticas innovadoras en materia de educación y formación, en particular las que están utilizando la tecnología para promover el desarrollo de competencias. La discusión electrónica también nos permitirá considerar los nuevos retos que se plantean en el contexto actual a medida que avanzamos hacia formas en línea de aprendizaje y de desarrollo de competencias, en particular cómo asegurarnos de que nadie quede excluido de las nuevas formas de aprendizaje y formación.

Para comenzar la discusión, le invitamos a que formule comentarios sobre los siguientes temas:

Preguntas de la segunda semana
1. ¿Qué enfoques nuevos e innovadores del aprendizaje y el desarrollo de competencias ha observado en su entorno desde el inicio de la pandemia?

2. ¿En qué medida pueden adaptarse los educandos a estas formas nuevas y cambiantes de formación y aprendizaje?

3. ¿Qué medidas se están adoptando a fin de asegurar que los educandos potenciales conozcan las soluciones de aprendizaje existentes y puedan acceder a ellas y utilizarlas de manera autónoma?

4. ¿Prevé que la situación actual tendrá un impacto en el concepto de aprendizaje permanente?

5. ¿Qué nuevas formas de alianzas, por ejemplo, alianzas público-privadas y colaboraciones, están surgiendo durante este período de crisis?

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.

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.

This taxonomy focuses on the skills that we know to be of growing relevance in a fast-changing labour market, and aims to serve as a “universal adapter” for existing taxonomies across learning supply and demand by allowing users to cross-walk their taxonomy against this framework. It is designed to be used by Chief Learning Officers in developing their learning, reskilling and redeployment strategies; by Chief Human Resource Officers in their practices for hiring incoming talent; by learning providers who design and curate learning materials to be used in the workforce; and by governments who aim to assess skills needs within their economies. The ambition is that—through continuous contributions and consultations with industry and government experts—we continue to build on this framework to ensure it remains agile and adapts to broader disruptions and changing trends in the jobs and skills landscape. This publication complements the global skills taxonomy by providing context and recommendations for how the taxonomy can be deployed by key actors to unlock the Reskilling Revolution.

Gender equality

Thumbnail

Women represent both half of the world's population – and half the world's economic potential. Their participation in the labour market reduces poverty because they often invest 90 per cent of their income in the well-being, education and nutrition of their families. Yet labour force participation by women has stagnated at about 55 per cent globally since 2010. Moreover, women are disproportionately represented in precarious work – low-paid, low-skilled and insecure jobs.

Training plays an important role in the pursuit of equality of opportunity and treatment for women and men in the world of work. Yet women often lack access to technical and vocational education and training. Many also lack the basic functional skills, such as literacy and numeracy, to participate meaningfully in the work force. Overcoming this challenge requires the adoption of a life-cycle approach. This includes improving girls’ access to basic education; overcoming logistic, economic and cultural barriers to apprenticeships and to secondary and vocational training for young women; and meeting the training needs of women re-entering the labour market and of older women who have not had equal access to opportunities for lifelong learning.

This curriculum guide is an elaboration of the STEM in TVET Learning Design Framework. It has mapped out STEM competencies to the existing basic, common, and core competencies of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in the Philippines. Qualifications from priority sectors such as ICT, Agriculture, Construction, Automotive, Metals and Engineering, Health and Wellness, and Tourism have been revisited for better alignment of the proposed STEM-oriented learning activities. The reference documents of the STEM Competencies presented in this curriculum guide can be a good resource for curriculum planners, writers, and assessors. For each competency, relevant knowledge, specific indicators, and learning activities have been curated. Moreover, templates and detailed plans are provided to showcase how STEM competencies can be further developed with the right questions and activities. However, the sample activities are not in any way prescriptive. Technical writers and trainers are encouraged to contextualize the learning activities in their qualifications to ensure the relevance to their program.

Overall, the goal of this STEM in TVET curriculum guide is to reinforce existing STEM competencies in TESDA qualifications through STEM-oriented learning activities and assessments. The development of this guide was supported J.P. Morgan.

E-discussion now extended to 28 March.
 

Women in the workplace
Women make up more than half of the world’s population and half of the world’s potential. Yet, women and girls often lack access to vocational education and skills training. Many also lack the basic functional skills, such as literacy and numeracy, to participate meaningfully in the work force. The effective participation of women in education and training is a particularly powerful tool for alleviating poverty and promoting economic and social empowerment. Skills for employment not only equips women with the competencies they require for specific jobs, but allows them to improve their employability and develop their social skills. They also learn to actively participate in civil society and politics.

The UN 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda provides, among others, a roadmap for accelerating gender equality and empowering all women and girls. It aims to end discrimination against women, by ensuring equal access to quality technical training and skills development, and promoting full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, and equal pay for work of equal value. Indicators established for each of the sustainable development goals provide the means for tracking and measuring progress.

Discussion questions for consideration:
-What are some of the ways to increase gender equality in the workplace?

-What can be done at the country-level to ensure access to skills training for young women and girls?

-What are some of the barriers to their participation?

-How do existing laws and policies in your country help or hinder the increase in participation of women at all levels in the workforce?

-How can the public and private sectors promote gender equality?

-What role does entrepreneurship play in terms of women’s economic empowerment?

Rural employment

Thumbnail

Eight out of 10 of the world’s working poor who live on US $1.25 per day live in rural areas, where many are caught in vulnerable employment, especially in agriculture.Flourishing rural areas are vital to regional and national development. Yet, rural economies tend to face a wide range of challenges that urban areas are more likely to overcome. These include access to transportation, sanitation and health services, and a consumer base in close proximity to support small and medium enterprise development. Women and men working in rural areas also face difficulties associated with a paucity of economic opportunities, under investment, poor infrastructure and public services, including education, and, in many cases, weak governance and underdeveloped markets.

Education, entrepreneurship, and physical and social infrastructure all play an important role in developing rural regions. Skills are central to improving employability and livelihood opportunities, reducing poverty, enhancing productivity and promoting environmentally sustainable development.

Maintenant prolongée jusqu'au 22 Juin. Cette discussion sera co-moderée par Ashwani Aggarwal, James Windell et Alfredo Lazarte Hoyle Seniors Spécialistes de l'OIT. La fonction de discussion fonctionne mieux quand on y accède par les navigateurs suivants: Chrome ou Firefox.

 

Les régions rurales contribuent fortement à l’emploi et à la croissance économique dans de nombreux pays. Sur les 5,98 milliards d’habitants des pays en développement, près de 3,4 milliards vivent en milieu rural et un nombre important dépend de l’agriculture comme moyen d’existence. Pourtant la pauvreté est plus étendue et plus grave en milieu rural qu’en milieu urbain et la création d’emplois productifs et de travail décent pour les travailleurs ruraux est devenue un défi croissant pour le développement aux niveaux national et international.

Le travail décent reste hors de portée de milliards de travailleurs ruraux. Œuvrant pour la plupart dans l’économie informelle, ils sont souvent exposés à des emplois mal payés, médiocres, ni reconnus ni protégés par la loi. Ils sont confrontés au chômage endémique, à l’absence de droits au travail, à une protection sociale inadéquate et sont peu ou mal représentés.

Deuxième série de questions (13 - 22 Juin):
Quelles mesures ont été introduites pour stimuler l’emploi rural dans les secteurs agricoles ou non et quels sont les types de compétences pour lesquels on prévoit une forte demande dans le cadre d’une stratégie rurale intégrée?

Quelles méthodes donnent les meilleurs résultats lorsqu’il s’agit de dispenser des formations à un grand nombre de personnes en région rurale, à un coût abordable ? Et quel est le meilleur moyen de continuer à assurer le perfectionnement en compétences en milieu rural sur le long terme ?

Avez-vous des exemples d’actions et de programmes relatifs aux compétences ayant fait progresser la parité entre hommes et femmes et la participation de tous à la société en milieu rural?

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

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.

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.

Les actions menées pour aider les entreprises à trouver une main d’œuvre dotée des bonnes compétences et permettre aux travailleurs d’acquérir ces dernières ouvrent la voie à la prospérité économique et la construction de sociétés plus inclusives.

La Global KSP canalisera cette discussion sur les approches sectorielles d’enrichissement des compétences. La discussion en ligne se fera en deux temps. Pendant la première semaine, la plateforme s'intéressera aux difficultés actuelles auxquelles font face l’industrie et le marché du travail en matière de compétences. Au cours de la deuxième semaine, les participants seront invités à dialoguer et à partager leurs expériences et bonnes pratiques concernant la mise en œuvre d’approches sectorielles de renforcement des compétences.

Voir note explicative complète à la fin de la page.

Question pour la deuxième semaine : les initiatives et les actions qui donnent des résultats:

-Les démarches sectorielles de développement des compétences se sont révélées utiles pour faire participer les employeurs, même si elles prennent des formes différentes dans des contextes nationaux différents. Selon vos constats lors de l’étude des approches sectorielles de renforcement des compétences, quels sont les modèles de participation des employeurs qui sont efficaces ?

-Quel rôle jouent les comités tripartites sectoriels dans l’anticipation des besoins d’un secteur en formations actuelles et futures, dans l’évaluation de la qualité des programmes de formation et leur pertinence et dans l’amélioration de cette dernière ?

-Avez-vous quelques exemples de mesures d’anticipation visant à renforcer les compétences d’un secteur donné afin d'améliorer les performances des entreprises et d’actualiser les compétences des travailleurs ?

-Dans quelle mesure les pays prennent-ils en compte les besoins spécifiques de leurs secteurs principaux lorsqu’ils définissent politiques et orientations en matière d’EFTP et de formation ?
