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.

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

Standards, curriculum and learning resources

Thumbnail

The standard or outcome-based approach to curriculum development is a worldwide trend which reflects a paradigm shift from input to outcome-based provision, from teaching to learning, from content to process focused/performance-oriented learning experience. In this new paradigm the learner is expected to demonstrate what he/she knows and is able to do against the standards established at national level. Adopting an outcome-based approach for curriculum development is an effective way to address potential mismatches between technical and vocational education and training (TVET) provision and the needs of the labour market; between irrelevant/ obsolete training programmes, and employers’ and learners’ needs and expectations.

Les normes professionnelles minimales harmonisées pour maçons et assistants maçons ont été élaborées sur la base des normes professionnelles nationales des trois pays, avec pour objectif d'atteindre 70 à 80 pour cent de points communs avec les normes nationales existantes. Les normes professionnelles minimales harmonisées peuvent aider les pays qui élaborent des normes ou révisent les normes nationales existantes en comparant et en prenant en compte les normes similaires disponibles dans la région. Elles peuvent également être utilisées dans l'enseignement et la formation techniques et professionnels pour l'élaboration de programmes d'études et d'évaluations fondés sur des normes. Les normes peuvent également soutenir les partenariats de compétences sur la migration dans la région en étant utilisées dans les mécanismes de validation des acquis de l’expérience des travailleurs migrants.

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.

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.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Harmonized minimum occupational standards for assistant masons and masons
The following occupational standards were developed by tripartite technical committees in Ghana Nigeria and Togo with the support of the ILO during the period 2021–2022 as part of the SKILL-UP Project financed by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation in an effort to promote skills partnerships on migration in the West African region. The harmonized occupational minimal standards for assistant masons and masons have been developed based on the national occupational standards of the three countries, with a target of achieving 70 to 80 per cent commonality with existing national standards. The harmonized occupational minimal standard can help countries that are developing standards or reviewing existing national standards through comparison and consideration of similar standards available in the region. It can also be used in technical vocational education and training for the development of standards-based curricula, and assessments. The standards can also support skills partnerships on migration in the region by being used in mechanisms of recognition of prior learning of migrant workers.
