Participation of employers' and workers' organizations

The world of learning and the world of work are separate but linked. While one involves learning, the other produces goods and services. Neither can thrive without the other. Strong partnerships between government, employers and workers help ensure the relevance of training to the changing needs of enterprises and labour markets.

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

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.

Skills development for enhanced productivity and development is only possible within national economic development policies and plans. As Uganda strategically positions itself for takeoff under Vision 2040, it is absolutely necessary that the country gets the fundamentals right. One of the fundamentals that Uganda has got right so far is establishing macro-economic stability through revitalized and vibrant private enterprises, playing a leading role in all sectors of the economy.

This paper looks at the current framework of private sector participation in skills development, discusses the policy issues around private sector contribution to skills development and makes some recommendations for strengthening and streamlining this contribution.

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

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 document supersedes National Skill Development Policy of 2009. The policy aims to provide an umbrella framework to all skilling activities being carried out in India, to align them to common standards and link skilling with demand centres. In addition to laying down the objectives and expected outcomes, the policy also identifies the overall institutional framework which will act as a vehicle to reach the expected outcomes. The policy links skills development to improved employability and productivity in paving the way forward for inclusive growth in the country. The skill strategy is complemented by specific efforts to promote entrepreneurship in order to create ample opportunities for the skilled workforce.

UNIDO-Chevron partnership In recent years Angola has experienced high growth rates and is set to continue on this path, mainly driven by its oil sector. Yet, growth has been capital intensive, import dependent and has not created enough employment for a fast growing population. Unemployment is estimated at 26%, and many people work in subsistence agriculture or the informal economy. In order to support much-needed job creation and economic diversification, the Government embarked on a major reform of the education system to better equip youth for the future.

In 2010 Chevron, one of the world’s leading energy companies, contributed funding of USD 1 million to a partnership initiative to introduce entrepreneurship as a subject in secondary schools in Angola. Supporting the Government of Angola’s education reform endeavours, the Entrepreneurship Curriculum Programme aims to develop entrepreneurship skills among young people, building the foundation of a sustainable and dynamic private sector.A description of this project worked in in partnership with UNIDO is provided in the information brochure below.
