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

This report is based on the findings of an interagency survey on technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and skills development in the time of COVID-19. The online survey, which was targeted at TVET providers, policymakers and social partners, was implemented by the ILO in collaboration with the UNESCO and the World Bank over the period from 5 April to 15 May 2020. The survey, which collected data from 1,353 respondents, representing 126 countries from all over the world captured the main challenges faced by TVET institutions during this crisis and brought to light innovations in teaching and learning. The report is intended to help all those concerned to address current and future crises in their delivery of TVET and to manage the learning and training process effectively and to a high standard. Lessons may also be drawn for the post-crisis period, to strengthen the resilience and responsiveness of TVET systems and to inform broader reform efforts.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

A challenge for TVET programmes and careers While technical and vocational education and training (TVET) has the potential to bolster the participation of women in the labour market, this potential is not always well understood and capitalized on. In general, female students are lowly represented in TVET compared to general programmes, and in particular girls and women tend to be under-represented in the fields that require science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills and knowledge.

In addition to being required for ‘traditional’ and ‘emerging’ occupations, STEM skills and knowledge are often needed for the so-called ‘jobs of the future’, driving innovation, inclusive growth and sustainable development.

This report examines the key issues concerning girls and women’s participation and achievement in STEM-related TVET programmes and their transition STEM related careers.

The Bridging Conference on New Qualifications and Competencies in TVET of the BILT project has the overall goal of laying the foundations for the upcoming project activities through an open and participatory engagement among members of the TVET community.

This meeting revolves around the key aspects related to the identification, integration and implementation of new qualifications and competencies. It aims at discussing the relevance, applicability and prioritization of new qualifications and competencies with the global TVET community with a view on practical examples from Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific. The discussions will be underpinned by the main outcomes of the BILT Trends Mapping Study and will explore questions such as:

- What institutional arrangements are favorable for identifying the demands for new qualifications and competencies? Which mix of competencies is relevant in the BILT themes digitalization, greening, entrepreneurship and migration?
- How can relevant qualifications and competencies be integrated into curricula and training regulations? What is the relevance of cross-cutting, occupational, sectoral and modular approaches in this context?
- How are new qualifications and competencies implemented, mainly concerning adaptation of pedagogical environments and teachers and trainers training?

While the meeting is held in English, there will be remote simultaneous interpretation to and from French.

This Trends Mapping Study is part of the Bridging Innovation and Learning in TVET project. It draws on a selection of relevant literature, the data collected from the UNEVOC Network using an online survey and focus group activities, as well as on information obtained from a virtual conference hosted by the UNESCO-UNEVOC TVET Online Forum. Based on the evidence gathered, the study identifies nine trends related to New Qualifications and Competencies (NQC) in TVET, which may inform future BILT activities. Trends one to four bring insights into the identification of NQC for relevant sectors and occupations; trends five and six concern the implementation of NQC in curricula and training regulations of different occupational profiles; and trends seven to nine bear upon the implementation of NQC in teaching and training.

Report on reskilling and upskilling through Formal and Vocational Education training Contrary to general education, vocational education and training (VET) has been an area of cooperation from the very beginning of the European Union. Over decades, however, the concept and reality of VET has changed substantially. VET as a dead-end educational pathway preparing exclusively for direct labour market entrance has practically faded out. The VET systems of the EU member states have become more open and have developed their access routes to higher and further education. Since 1995, common drivers for developments in VET across EU member states have included structural ones as shrinking birth-cohorts or changes in skill demands induced by new technologies and digitalisation as well as institutional ones, for instance, a new emphasis on learning outcomes or the introduction of qualification frameworks. However, common drivers have resulted in different trajectories taken by the various national VET systems, perpetuating the diversity of VET in Europe. The paper discusses long-term structural changes and recent trends within VET (such as vocational drift in education, hybridisation of general and vocational education, increasing permeability of educational pathways in initial VET) and how they might play out in the future. Given that the trends are expected to continue, it can be expected that by 2030 national qualification frameworks in most EU members states will be firmly established thereby organising a diversity of vocational qualifications ranging from EQF level 1 to 8 – including professional doctorates
