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.

The Postal Services and Telecommunications SSP 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 Namibia Training Authority, employers, trade unions, training providers, public entities, civil society, international partners and local communities to spell out the priorities for upskilling workers in the sector.

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

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.

The report focuses on the ILO’s work on local resource-based (LRB) approaches applied in water works – water supply and sanitation services, small dams, irrigation systems, and adaptation works at the community level in many countries covered by technical assistance and projects, either as a response to pre or post-disaster and/or conflict. This document links Employment Intensive Investment Programme’s (EIIP) labour-intensive approaches for infrastructure development and job creation in the water sector. It draws evidence from 12 projects showing the approach in different stages of the project cycle focusing on water and sanitation, small dams; irrigation systems and adaptation works. The report places emphasis on planning and identification of water needs, participation, community involvement, labour-based technologies for implementation, contracting and local government involvement and maintenance while integrating cross-cutting issues such as gender, environment, vulnerable groups and good working conditions.

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.

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.

Financing of training

Thumbnail

Initial education and training and lifelong learning benefit individuals, employers and society as a whole. Economic principles dictate that the costs for services with public and private benefits should be shared between public and private funding, or else too little training will be provided or taken up. Effective mechanisms for financing skills development vary according to countries’ economic and political circumstances and the degree and level of social dialogue established.

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.

The Employment Policy Department and ITCILO are organizing the third edition of the Global Knowledge Sharing Forum on Transition to formal economy in Turin from 25-29 November 2019.

The Global Knowledge Sharing Forum is organised every two years by the ILO and is a platform for open and interactive discussion between public decision-makers, social partners and institutional partners on what has worked or not on the transition processes at national, regional and global levels; as well as to identify key issues and challenges relating to enhancing the operationalization of the ILO’s recommendation on transition to formality (R204).

Six areas of research are suggested: • Transition to formality and inclusive structural transformation: the role of sectoral policies • Increased productivity of enterprises and workers they employed: what measures, conditions and what results? • Policy formulation and coordination for transition to formality: What works? • Informal economy actors’ practices and institutions: Challenges and opportunities for public policies • Skills development and lifelong learning: What now for informal economy workers? • Extending social security coverage to those in the informal economy: Paths and experiences • Organization and representation of informal economy workers and economic units: Innovative actions and tools

Panorama de la formación Nº 13

Para la elaboración de los casos que se presentan en esta publicación, hemos contado con la valiosa e indispensable colaboración de SENAI de Brasil, INSAFORP de El Salvador, SENATI de Perú y UTEC de Uruguay. Diversos colaboradores de esas instituciones nos han narrado la forma en que sus instituciones anticipan y acompañan los cambios en el mundo del trabajo, y como desarrollan una visión innovadora de la competitividad y la productividad inmersas en su identidad de instituciones de formación para personas que requieren empleo e ingresos.

La narrativa acá presentada tiene un denominador común: la innovación. Se han tenido que modificar paradigmas, cambiar formas de actuar, buscar nuevas alianzas, desarrollar distintas respuestas, reinventar el negocio y dejar de hacer cosas. Queda al criterio del lector ver cómo y de qué manera este grupo de instituciones nos narran su historia reciente para adaptarse e innovar.

What are the major economic and social trends in Africa? What is Africa’s role in globalisation? This new annual report presents an Africa open to the world and towards the future. Africa's Development Dynamics uses the lessons learned in the five African regions – Central, East, North, Southern and West Africa – to develop recommendations and share good practices. The report identifies innovative policies and offers practical policy recommendations, adapted to the specificities of African economies.

Drawing on the most recent available statistics, this analysis of development dynamics aims to help African leaders reach the targets of the African Union’s Agenda 2063 at all levels: continental, regional, and national. Every year this report will focus on one strategic theme. This first edition explores the dynamics of growth, jobs, and inequalities. It proposes ten decisive actions to promote sustainable economic and social development and to strengthen institutions in Africa.

This volume also feeds into a policy debate between African Union’s nations, citizens, entrepreneurs and researchers. It aims to be part of a new co-operation between countries and regions focused on mutual learning and the preservation of common goods. This report is the result of a partnership between the African Union Commission and the OECD Development Centre.

Dynamiques du développement en Afrique 2018. Croissance, emploi et inégalités.

Quelles sont les tendances économiques et sociales majeures en Afrique aujourd’hui? Comment l’Afrique s’inscrit-elle dans la mondialisation? Ce nouveau rapport annuel parle d’une Afrique ouverte sur le monde et l’avenir. Dynamiques du développement en Afrique tire les leçons des expériences des cinq sous-régions – Afrique australe, centrale, de l’Est, du Nord et de l’Ouest – pour partager et développer les bonnes pratiques. Le rapport identifie les politiques innovantes et offre des recommandations pratiques, adaptées aux spécificités des économies africaines.

Étayé par les plus récentes statistiques, son décryptage des dynamiques du développement vise à permettre aux leaders africains de réaliser la vision stratégique de l’agenda 2063 à tous les niveaux: continental, régional et national. Chaque édition examine ainsi un thème stratégique. Cette première édition explore les dynamiques de la croissance, de l’emploi et des inégalités. Elle propose dix actions phares pour promouvoir un développement économique et social durable en Afrique et y renforcer les institutions.

Cet ouvrage a pour vocation de nourrir le débat entre les membres de l’Union Africaine, ainsi que les citoyens, entrepreneurs et chercheurs. Son ambition est de participer à une nouvelle coopération – entre pays, régions... – tournée vers l’apprentissage mutuel et la préservation de nos biens communs. Il est lui-même le fruit de la coopération entre la Commission de l’Union Africaine et le Centre de développement de l’OCDE.
