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.

Emerging from decades of economic, social, and political isolation, Myanmar today shows potentials for advancing with a new developing paradigm based on inclusive growth and poverty reduction. Having embarked on an ambitious program of sweeping reforms to progressively integrate its economy with the global system, Myanmar is facing a period of transition which is inevitably characterized by challenges and opportunities.

To catch up the rapid growth, skill development is the crucial link to improve productivity, employment growth and socioeconomic development. The ILO Recommendation on Human Resources Development Recommendation 2004 (No. 195) provides guidance on the content of effective skills policies and systems. In 2009, the ILO drew on the agreed framework with the G20 Leaders to develop a training strategy to support innovation and growth. Countries that have succeeded in linking skills to productivity, employment and development have targeted three main objectives: matching supply to current demand for skills; helping workers and enterprises adjust to change; and anticipating and delivering skills needed in the future in order to sustain a dynamic development process.

This working paper discuss industry leadership of human resources development in Myanmar. It analyses the current supply of qualified human resources in Myanmar, mismatch between demand and supply by sector, as well as growth trends, investment climate and current policies and legislation. The paper provides recommendations to help narrow the gaps identified.

TVET institutions

Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions play an important role in equipping young people to enter the world of work and in improving their employability throughout their careers. The Global KSP collects and shares information from TVET institutions on how they respond to changing labour market needs, adopt new training technologies, expand the outreach of their training, and improve the quality of their services including in the areas of governance, financing, teacher education, and industry partnerships.

Availability of skilled human resource is one of the main prerequisites for the economic development of any country. Comparative study of the status of various countries reveals that higher the level of education and skill of the citizen, higher the level of development of the country and vice versa. This fact is even more justifiable in the case of technical human resources. Furthermore, present situation of Nepal has epitomized these facts since lack of skilled human resource is felt as a major bottleneck both to enhance the industrial development as well as modernize the agriculture sector. On the one hand, economic development of Nepal is being adversely affected by the lack of skilled human resources in various sectors and regions. On the other hand, the mismatch between demand and supply of HR not only misuse the scare resources of the country but also creates serious repercussion due to educational unemployment. This study therefore is an attempt to quantify the actual need of middle level technical human resources and thereby helps to adjust the supply system accordingly.

The health and social services sector skills plan is a “roadmap” to address skills development priorities in the sector. It focuses on profiling the sector, identifying skills in demand, analysing supply side education and training provision, determining skills priorities and putting together an action plan for improving the skills profile of the workforce. The SSP serves as a guiding framework for the NTA, employers, trade unions, training providers, public entities, civil society, international partners and local communities to spell out the priorities for up skilling workers in the H&SS sector.

This study is part of the National Skills Sector Development Programme 2014-2020 (SSDP) This paper attempts to review conditions of demand and supply related to skills development in four industrial sectors that the government of Sri Lanka has ear-marked for long term development. They are the information and communication technology industry (ICT), the tourism and hospitality industry (THI), construction and light engineering. These four sectors accounted for 9 per cent of GDP and 10 per cent of total employment in 2012. The IT and tourism industries are projected to earn US 5 billion each in 2022. The two sectors have also revealed their potential for high growth in terms of value addition and employment. The growth potential of sub-sectors belonging to these two service sectors are linked to export markets, while the growth potential of the construction and light engineering sectors are largely determined by product market conditions of the domestic market. Using already available secondary data in the form of survey data, administrative data, and published reports, the present paper assesses the training gaps in these four sectors using standard skills assessment methodologies.

The SA clothing and textiles industries have undergone difficult restructuring over the past ten years due to the combined impact of domestic and international factors. The negative impact of this transformation is manifest in the declining contribution of the sector to total manufacturing output, its falling export share and significant contraction in sector employment. This outcome might have been different had this process of restructuring been pre-empted and accompanied by a concerted effort to up-skill remaining workers and promote innovation in the sector. This could have enabled the sector to pursue a skills-led competitiveness strategy and assist a move toward higher-cost, high quality items.

This report results from a process of consultation with the main organisations and stakeholders in the sector to identify key skills shortage and issues, and a wide ranging analysis of existing material on skills supply and demand, and factors influencing skills trends.

The Government of Rwanda recognizes the need for qualified and skilled human resources to address the imbalance in the supply and demand of skilled labour and is committed to ensuring that there are skilled workers available on the labour market to meet the actual labour market demands. Whereas progress has been made over the previous 19 years in the areas of education and skills development in Rwanda, significant barriers still remain, creating challenge of matching of skills and opportunities in the labour market.

It has therefore become imperative to depart from the traditional way of capacity building to a more strategic and focused approach that is aimed at achieving national priorities. A Five Year Program for skills development to deliver EDPRS II ( 2013-2018) in this regard has been developed to address the critical and scarce skills gap in the following high priority sectors: Infrastructure; Agriculture; Natural Resources; Investment, Trade and Industry ICT; Health and Education.

The Study has revealed that highly skilled labour is needed to help address identified sector specific needs – particularly at the technician and professional levels in the aforementioned Sectors.
