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

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.

En renforçant la capacité des travailleurs à s’adapter à l’évolution des exigences du marché et à tirer parti de l’innovation et des investissements dans les domaines des nouvelles technologies, de l’énergie propre, de l’environnement, de la santé et de l’infrastructure, les nations peuvent devenir plus compétitives dans le contexte économique mondial et mieux répondre aux défis posés de façon croissante par le marché du travail. Mais accroître l’investissement en compétences pour satisfaire les besoins actuels et mieux répondre aux tendances qui touchent toutes les régions du monde appelle la réforme des orientations, des institutions et des méthodes de formation.

Dans la lutte contre la crise mondiale actuelle de l’emploi des jeunes – caractérisée par un taux élevé de chômage et des emplois médiocres et mal rémunérés - l'EFTP peut aider à réduire l’inadéquation des compétences qui touche à un degré disproportionné les jeunes des pays en développement. De plus le fait que l’EFTP est tourné vers le monde du travail peut faciliter la transition entre le milieu scolaire et celui de l’emploi.

Voir note explicative complète à la fin de la page.

Questions pour la deuxième semaine :
5. Quels sont les facteurs clés permettant de déterminer la nature et le type des compétences nécessaires pour l’avenir et en quoi le secteur de l’EFTP peut-il améliorer sa capacité à répondre à l’évolution de la demande en compétences ?

6. Dans quelle mesure l’action des établissements d’EFTP de votre pays s’appuie-t-elle sur des analyses régulières et continues des tendances sur le marché du travail et de l'évolution du secteur industriel ?

7. Quel est le rôle des partenariats publics-privés pour que la formation dispensée par les établissements réponde mieux aux besoins des employeurs et travailleurs individuels ?

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.

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.

Cette discussion virtuelle qui s’inspire de la Journée internationale de la femme de cette année, aura pour but d’étudier et d’encourager le partage des programmes et bonnes pratiques innovants qui peuvent aider à bâtir un monde du travail meilleur pour le développement actuel et futur – notamment pour les femmes et autres groupes défavorisés. Partagez vos expériences maintenant! Certaines contributions pourront aussi figurer dans une publication de l’OIT sur le sujet.

 

Plusieurs éléments moteurs du changement transformationnel sur le plan international ont des répercussions majeures sur l’évolution des compétences. Par exemple, les progrès technologiques vont modifier de façon fondamentale notre mode de vie, de travail et nos modes d’échanges sociaux. Souvent considérée comme la quatrième révolution industrielle, l’arrivée de la robotique, de la nanotechnologie, de l’impression en 3D et de la biotechnologie va exiger d’énormes évolutions des compétences nécessaires pour prospérer dans ce nouveau monde.

L’engagement de « Ne laisser personne de côté » pris dans le Programme pour le développement durable de 2030 et les Objectifs pour le développement durable qui l’accompagnent oblige les états membres à établir des plans pour mettre fin à la pauvreté, lutter contre le changement climatique et combattre l’injustice et les inégalités.

Veuillez lire la Note explicative complet.

Questions pour cette semaine :
4. Différents pays ont suivi des approches différentes pour encourager la croissance pour tous par l’enrichissement des compétences. Mais s’agit-il d’élargir l’accès aux établissements dispensant des formations structurées ? Ou s’agit-il d’améliorer la qualité et l’image de l’EFTP ? S’agit-il de compétences spécifiques qui pourraient ouvrir des emplois décents et productifs aux groupes défavorisés ? Ou de créer des débouchés menant à des emplois de qualité, bien rémunérés et qualifiés ? Qu’en pensez-vous au vu de votre expérience ?

5. Y-a-t-il des programmes uniques en leur genre et innovants dans votre pays qui s’adressent aux groupes défavorisés et portent sur leurs besoins spécifiques en compétences ?

6. Le développement de l’automatisation va changer la nature des emplois et ce sont les postes des travailleurs peu qualifiés qui sont le plus exposés.

En l’absence de qualifications reconnues, un grand nombre de personnes est gravement désavantagé lorsqu’il s’agit d’obtenir un emploi décent, de migrer vers d’autres régions et d’acquérir une formation supplémentaire, même lorsqu’elles possèdent les connaissances et les aptitudes nécessaires. La validation des acquis de l’expérience (VAE) peut leur permettre d’acquérir une qualification reconnue correspondant à leurs connaissances et à leurs aptitudes qui peut ainsi améliorer leur employabilité, leur mobilité, l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie, ainsi que leur intégration sociale et leur confiance en soi. La discussion en ligne mettra en exergue l’importance de la VAE et soulignera en quoi elle aide à lutter contre la pauvreté et à créer du travail et des emplois.

Les modérateurs de la discussion seront Ashwani Aggarwal et Albert William Okal, spécialistes en compétences et employabilité à l’OIT.

Il est préférable d’accéder à cette discussion par les navigateurs Chrome ou Firefox.

 

Alors que la mondialisation s’étend à une allure rapide, le monde d’aujourd’hui est marqué par la diversité et la flexibilité accrues des modes de travail, les moyens d’effectuer le travail; la régularité de l’emploi et la mobilité professionnelle. En raison de ces différentes évolutions, les travailleurs ont pu acquérir des compétences et un savoir auprès de sources et selon des modalités diverses, au sein d’un pays ou dans des pays développés, en développement et émergents. Il est important de bien cerner l’ensemble des compétences acquises au cours d’une vie, quel que soit le lieu ou les moyens de leur acquisition, pour que les travailleurs concernés puissent en faire la démonstration. Posséder la preuve des compétences acquises facilite aussi le transfert entre différents postes et peut éliminer les obstacles à la progression des salaires.

Dans les pays en développement, où le taux d’abandon de la scolarité est élevé, nombreux sont les travailleurs qui acquièrent des compétences professionnelles de façon informelle. Pour cette raison, ils rencontrent des difficultés substantielles à obtenir un emploi décent et à poursuivre leur éducation en l’absence de systèmes permettant de reconnaître les connaissances, les aptitudes et les compétences acquises par des moyens non formels et informels. Dans ce contexte, l’accès des travailleurs à des dispositifs qui leur permettent de concrétiser la valeur de leurs acquis pour s’en servir sur le marché du travail revêt une importance croissante. Comme, au niveau mondial, la moitié de la population active travaille et exerce des activités de production dans le secteur informel (et que l’informalité progresse ....

Questions pour la discussion:

1. De quelle façon votre pays utilise-t-il les systèmes de VAE et quels sont les résultats et les enseignements tirés de cette expérience ?

2. Quelles difficultés votre pays a-t-il rencontrées dans la mise en place du dispositif de VAE ?

Le chômage des jeunes à travers le monde reste un problème majeur pour le développement, car près de 70,9 millions d’entre eux sont sans emploi en 2017. En outre, les jeunes sont trois fois plus susceptibles de connaitre le chômage que les adultes. Faire face au problème du chômage des jeunes (et par extension à celui des adultes) est un sujet de préoccupation majeur qui demande de faire une place prioritaire à des politiques modernes d’enrichissement des compétences et d’emploi capables de favoriser la création d’emplois décents et d’éviter les décalages entre les compétences proposées et celles qui sont recherchées.
Le chômage des jeunes à une telle échelle représente un paradoxe de société : alors que de nombreux jeunes recherchent un emploi, bien des employeurs n’arrivent pas à trouver les travailleurs ayant les compétences dont ils ont besoin. Ce type de décalage est fortement accentué par les transformations profondes qui bouleversent le monde du travail comme l’innovation technique, la mondialisation, le changement climatique et les évolutions dans l’organisation du travail dans des secteurs d’activité qui fonctionnent sur plate-forme informatique.

 

 

Ces profondes transformations ont des incidences marquées sur les dispositifs d’éducation et de formation qui doivent trouver les bonnes politiques et les bons programmes à mettre en œuvre. De plus, les systèmes traditionnels où la formation et l’éducation professionnelles sont dispensées à l’école affrontent de façon croissante la nécessité de faire preuve de plus de souplesse et de réactivité pour que les jeunes soient équipés en compétences leur permettant mieux d’assumer les nouveaux emplois aujourd’hui et à l’avenir. Dans ce contexte, les apprentissages de qualité et autres programmes de formation en entreprise ont un rôle essentiel à jouer pour relever les défis du futur monde du travail.

Au cours des deux prochaines semaines, la discussion portera sur les questions suivantes :

1. Quels sont les aspects positifs des apprentissages pour les différents intéressés, comme les employeurs, les syndicats de travailleurs, les gouvernements et les apprentis ? Existe-t-il dans votre pays des institutions chargées de recueillir et de diffuser des informations sur ces aspects positifs ?

2. Étant donné la rapide évolution du marché du travail qui intensifie le décalage entre l’offre et la demande en compétences, dans quelle mesure l’apprentissage peut-il aider à aligner les compétences offertes sur les emplois de demain ?

3. Dans votre pays, existe-t-il une position claire et commune sur les différences entre apprentissages, stages professionnels, stages en entreprise, stages emploi-formation et autres formes d’acquisition de connaissances sur le lieu de travail ?

4. Malgré leurs avantages largement reconnus, pourquoi est-il difficile dans de nombreux pays d’établir, de développer et de maintenir des apprentissages de haute qualité ? Quelles sont les difficultés particulières rencontrées dans votre pays pour les mettre en œuvre et les développer ?

5. Quelles innovations faut-il prévoir pour rendre l’apprentissage plus attrayant tant pour les jeunes que les employeurs, notamment pour les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) ?

Cette discussion invite les représentants d’organisations gouvernementales, d’employeurs et de travailleurs, de professionnels de l’éducation technique, des instructeurs, des ONGs et des particuliers, entre autres, de partager et de discuter sur les moyens permettant de maintenir un apprentissage continu et l’acquisition de compétences parmi les nouveaux entrants dans le monde du travail, ainsi que parmi les instructeurs et les travailleurs en temps de crise, telle que la pandémie de COVID-19. Cette discussion a aussi pour but d’explorer des pratiques à la fois efficaces et innovantes en termes d’apprentissage et d’éducation.

Le monde du travail est profondément affecté par la pandémie globale de COVID-19. Non seulement la santé de millions de personnes fragiles est en jeu, mais aussi leurs moyens de subsistance à long terme ainsi que leur bien-être. Ces dernières semaines, la pandémie de Coronavirus (COVID-19) a présenté de nouveaux défis dans tous les domaines reliés à l’apprentissage, qu’il s’agisse de la scolarité, l’éducation vocationnelle, l’apprentissage et le développement de compétences. De plus, cette crise a aussi stimulé des discussions relatives à la nécessité d’accélérer l’innovation dans le domaine de l’apprentissage en ligne, l’offre de programmes d’éducation vocationnelle et spécialisée ainsi que des formations spécialisées dans l’acquisition de compétences.

Dans ce contexte, nous avons l’opportunité d’explorer le concept « apprendre et se former n’importe où, n’importe quand », une idée centrale du concept d’apprentissage tout au long de la vie. En retour, ceci implique un examen de l’étendue des enjeux, comme notre niveau de préparation technique pour promouvoir de nouvelles façons de travailler face à des obstacles telles que les pandémies, et avec quelle rapidité nous pouvons organiser l’éducation et la formation au format digital tout en mobilisant les professeurs et éducateurs pour maintenir des services éducatifs pour les apprenants. Nous avons également besoin d’explorer des méthodologies d’apprentissages novatrices pour les apprentis et les travailleurs, qui acquièrent ou améliorent leurs compétences sur leur lieu de travail.

Afin de commencer la discussion, nous vous invitons à partager vos réflexions quant aux questions suivantes :

Questions pour la semaine 2 :

1. Quelles nouvelles approches novatrices en matière d’apprentissage et de développement de compétences avez-vous observées dans votre entourage depuis le début de cette pandémie ?

2. Dans quelle mesure les apprenants s’adaptent à ces formes de formation et d’apprentissage nouvelles et changeantes ?

3. Quelles mesures sont en train d’être prises pour que les potentiels apprenants soient au courant des solutions d’apprentissage en ligne existantes et puissent y accéder et les utiliser de manière autonome ?

4. Prévoyez-vous que la situation actuelle aura un impact sur le concept d’apprentissage tout au long de la vie ?

5. Quelles nouvelles formes de partenariats (par exemple, les partenariats public-privé) et de collaboration sont en train d’émerger durant cette période de crise ?

Drawing inspiration from this year’s International Women’s Day, this E-Discussion aims to explore and share innovative programmes and good practices that can contribute to the building of a better working world for present and future development—especially for women and other disadvantaged groups. Share your experiences now! Some contributions may also eventually be featured in an ILO publication on the subject.

Many of the global drivers of transformational change will have major implications for skills development. For example, technological advances will fundamentally alter the way we live, work and relate to one another. Referred to by many as The Fourth Industrial Revolution, evolution in robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing and biotechnology will require enormous changes in the skill sets needed to thrive in the new landscape. This revolution is also expected to result in significant job creation and displacement, heightened labour productivity and widening skills gaps.

The pledge that “no one will be left behind” in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its accompanying Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), commits member States to plan to end poverty, combat climate change and fight injustice and inequality.

A number of SDGs are particularly relevant in tackling these transformational drivers of change in the world of work:

- SDG 4 on quality education and lifelong learning;

- SDG 5 on gender equality; and,

- SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth.

Bold changes are needed to stimulate hope and drive for the inclusion of all individuals in present and future development processes. Yet, ensuring that inclusion is equitable is not automatic.

Please read full Guidance Note below.
Week two questions include, among others:
4. Different countries have taken different approaches to promoting inclusive growth through skills development. Yet, is it about broadening access to formal training institutions? Is it about improving the quality and perception of TVET? Is it about specific skills that could promote disadvantaged groups in gaining decent and productive jobs? What is your view and experience?

5. What are unique and innovative programmes in your country that reach out and address specific skills needs of disadvantaged groups?

6. Increased automation will change the nature of jobs and low-skilled workers are likely to face highest employment risks. What kind of skills or skills-plus programmes can assist in enhancing their employability and career prospects?

7. We all know that skills alone may not be sufficient for realizing inclusive growth. How do your country’s skills development initiatives connect to broader programmes that promote inclusive employment and equality of opportunities?

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.

The ILO conducted 13 country studies and 2 sub-regional studies identifying the potential for skills partnerships on migration between different countries and key skills stakeholders. Skills partnerships can contribute to more effective tapping of the potential of migrants. Such partnerships can be an innovative mechanism for maximizing brain gain, or the knowledge and skills of migrants, both in origin and destination countries.

Ultimately, these partnerships help skills development systems become more inclusive, migration more demand-led and migrant workers better prepared, protected and able to utilize their skills.

The highest incidence of low- and semi-skilled migration on the African continent is found in the Central African, West-African and Sahel regions. As part of the SKILL-UP Programme, supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the ILO assisted constituents in developing implementable and potentially scalable ideas for skills partnerships between countries and along migration corridors in a tripartite consultative manner.

With a team of national and international experts, the ILO conducted 13 country studies and two sub-regional studies identifying the potential for skills partnerships on migration between different countries and skills institutions, including ministries, training providers, employment services, sectoral bodies and employers’ and workers’ 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.

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.

Background paper for the Futures of Education initiative This background paper argues that while education cannot solve most problems concerning the futures of work, there can be no solution to these problems without quality, enduring institutions supporting education and occupational coherence in the labour market. Hence, its core focus is on ‘bringing institutions back in’ to the policy focus: building strong, enduring education institutions as the anchor for quality and innovation in the education domain.

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.

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.

This guide includes recent developments in enhancing the migration services offered by various employment services providers. Its purpose is to keep this useful tool up to date and reflect new and emerging needs, as well as good practices, including in the COVID-19 context.

This edition is issued within the framework of the Support to Free Movement of Persons and Migration in West Africa project (FMM), funded by the EU and ECOWAS, and takes on board the efforts made in the ECOWAS subregion to improve labour migration governance and skills portability, in particular skills acquired through non-formal and informal learning, and non-recognized formal qualifications.

The guide should be used in conjunction with the ‘Training Employment Services Providers on How to Facilitate the Recognition of Skills of Migrant Workers: Facilitator’s Notes’, which contain training material on recognition of prior learning.
