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.

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

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.

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.

ITC-ILO Course

Apprenticeships are a key aspect of skills development policies and programmes. In this course, organized in conjunction with the ILO's Employment Department, Skills and Employability branch and the European Training Foundation, participants learn about the links between training and labour-market needs, as well as how to formalize and structure apprenticeship programmes worldwide. Join this course if you are motivated to improve apprenticeships for the future of work. 

 

Who attends this course?

Policy-makers and technical advisors of ministries; members of skills councils, national TVET authorities and similar institutions; representatives of workers' and employers' organizations involved in apprenticeships; experts and technical staff of CSOs and NGOs, and other civil society actors.

Objectives

The course facilitates the development of a holistic understanding of policies and systems related to quality apprenticeships. It is structured around seven modules that address the two main dimensions for the development of quality apprenticeships systems:

  • Aspects related to national policies and to the creation and development of national or sectoral apprenticeships systems, around the six “building blocks” of quality apprenticeships;
  • Topics closely related to the practical implementation of quality apprenticeship training programmes, in order to answer the key questions around the “how-to”.

Participants will be connected to a global network of competence development professionals and will be able to enhance their contribution to the design and implementation of quality apprenticeships in their country and within their organization:

  • Handling diagnostic tools to identify bottlenecks and possible solutions to the challenges facing their systems
  • Encouraging partnerships between countries
  • Identifying emerging issues and initial ideas for solutions
  • Mastering concrete tools and instruments related to quality apprenticeships.

Most of the world’s poor today are found in rural Africa, while the backbone of most African economies remains agriculture. Despite increasing urbanisation, there are projections that around half of Africa’s new jobseekers will need to find employment in rural areas, at least until 2030. Africa has a youth employment challenge, which is particularly acute in rural areas, as sustainable and decent employment opportunities for young people are very limited, and poverty rates are high. Agricultural and rural transformation can lead to improved employment outcomes, setting rural and African economies more broadly on a path to decent employment creation. This Evidence Synthesis Paper evaluates the potential of the rural economy to provide decent employment and the outcomes associated with various types of employment for rural young people in Africa.

Global launch of the YouthForesight knowledge facility 

YouthForesight will serve as a one-stop-shop providing curated publications, databases, tools, and multimedia resources to support evidence-based action on young people’s education and skilling, employment, entrepreneurship, and engagement. 

Hosted by GenU and DJY, the platform will be a one-stop-shop for development practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and young people themselves to learn and share about youth education, skilling, employment, entrepreneurship, and engagement through curated tools, data, and resources. Through a simple sign-up feature, YouthForesight allows partners to share knowledge resources, gain visibility, and tap into a network of stakeholders dedicated to creating positive change for young people.

DJY and GenU share a common vision to enhance the future prospects of young people and aspire towards multi-stakeholder engagement that boost action and impact for youth. The alignment of efforts was strengthened through the Memorandum of Understanding between ILO and UNICEF signed last year. In addition to the What Works? A Guide to Action jointly launched last summer, the YouthForesight is another example of the collaboration between DJY and GenU along with the partners. Going forward, the two initiatives will continue to join forces to ensure coordinated results for and with young people globally.

Apprenticeships

Thumbnail

Quality apprenticeships based on robust social dialogue and public-private partnerships can improve employment prospects for young people while developing high level skills identified by employers as necessary for growth and increased productivity. Both informal and regulated apprenticeship systems are important learning resources enabling young people to overcome the work-inexperience trap, gain new and enhanced skills and recognized qualifications.

Upgrading informal apprenticeships and expanding regulated ones is a cost-effective way to invest in a country’s skills base, promote economic growth and enhance the employability of youth.

Six études spécifiques au contexte burkinabé.

Les systèmes d’apprentissage de qualité selon l’OIT reposent sur six éléments essentiels et interdépendants : 1) un dialogue social constructif ; 2) des rôles et responsabilités clairs des différentes parties prenantes; 3) un cadre réglementaire solide ; 4) des mécanismes de financement équitables ; 5) une forte adéquation du système au marché du travail ; et 6) le caractère inclusif du système. Pour renforcer l’appropriation du concept d’apprentissage de qualité au Burkina Faso, le Bureau international du Travail (BIT) a entrepris des actions complémentaires liées aux six éléments ci-dessus énumérés.

Une étude sur chaque élément essentiel a été élaboré avec l’objectif d’analyser l’état de l’apprentissage de qualité dans le pays et de proposer des recommandations pour l’améliorer. Chaque étude a été réalisée avec des objectifs et des méthodologies propres par des consultants nationaux et internationaux. Le secteur du BTP (Bâtiment Travaux Publics) est central pour le projet d’appui à l’Initiative mondiale pour l’emploi décent des jeunes au Burkina Faso. Ce secteur est donc central pour les études, lesquelles ont impliqué une grande diversité d’acteurs nationaux. Les résultats des six études sont étroitement liés et visent à apporter un soutien aux décideurs politiques et à une grande variété d’acteurs nationaux et internationaux qui travaillent sur l’apprentissage de qualité au Burkina Faso.

Chaque étude est le résultat du travail de consultants nationaux et internationaux, qui ont de leur côté bénéficié de la collaboration de différentes Ministères, structures du système burkinabé de l’enseignement et de la formation technique et professionnelle, des représentants des partenaires techniques et financiers, des organisations professionnelles, des syndicats, des chambres consulaires, d’entreprises, des centres de formation, ainsi que d’apprentis et leurs familles.

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

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.

Apprenticeships

Thumbnail

Quality apprenticeships based on robust social dialogue and public-private partnerships can improve employment prospects for young people while developing high level skills identified by employers as necessary for growth and increased productivity. Both informal and regulated apprenticeship systems are important learning resources enabling young people to overcome the work-inexperience trap, gain new and enhanced skills and recognized qualifications.

Upgrading informal apprenticeships and expanding regulated ones is a cost-effective way to invest in a country’s skills base, promote economic growth and enhance the employability of youth.

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.

À travers cette étude, le BIT souhaite faire connaître davantage le système d’apprentissage de qualité pour promouvoir une meilleure adéquation au marché du travail pour améliorer l’emploi décent des jeunes.

Au Burkina Faso, le projet se concentre sur la promotion d’un apprentissage de qualité caractérisé par la formation de type dual dans les centres de formation et en entreprises. Les systèmes d’apprentissage de qualité selon l’OIT reposent sur six éléments essentiels et interdépendants: 1) un dialogue social constructif; 2) un cadre réglementaire solide; 3) des mécanismes de financement équitables; 4) des rôles et responsabilités clairs des différentes parties prenantes; 5) une forte adéquation du système au marché du travail; et 6) le caractère inclusif du système.

Ces éléments caractérisant les systèmes d’apprentissage de qualité ont déjà fait l’objet de six études distinctes qui ont porté sur le cas du Burkina Faso. Ces études ont permis, d’une part, de faire un état des lieux en dégageant les forces et les faiblesses et, d’autre part, de formuler des recommandations et des conclusions pour une prise en compte des éléments de l’apprentissage de qualité dans le système de formation professionnelle au Burkina Faso.

À la lumière des résultats issus des six études, le BIT a réalisé une synthèse intitulée Étude pour l’élaboration d’un modèle d’apprentissage de qualité pour le Burkina Faso. Son objectif est de développer un modèle d’apprentissage de qualité qui fonctionne pour le Burkina Faso, basé sur les recommandations et les conclusions des études, ainsi que sur les leçons apprises du projet pilote d’apprentissage de qualité dans le secteur du bâtiment et des travaux publics.

Este manual nace de la necesidad detectada por el Centro Interamericano para el Desarrollo del Conocimiento en la Formación Profesional de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo – OIT/Cinterfor, de dotar de recursos prácticos a docentes, formadores y facilitadores que tienen la misión de fomentar el desarrollo de competencias que habiliten el ingreso, mantención y progreso de jóvenes y adultos al mercado laboral. Contiene principios orientadores que permiten al facilitador contextualizar la práctica dentro del enfoque de formación por competencias, recomendaciones para realizar una adecuada gestión del aprendizaje, así como también del ambiente de aprendizaje durante las sesiones de trabajo.

El manual ofrece una definición de cada una de las competencias que se trabajarán y un set de cinco actividades de aprendizaje por cada una de las seis competencias de empleabilidad seleccionadas. Finalmente, se entregan una serie de recomendaciones para la evaluación de aprendizajes en el contexto de la formación por competencias.

La elaboración estuvo a cargo de Rafaella Sarroca con el apoyo y orientación de Fernando Vargas, Especialista en formación profesional de OIT/Cinterfor.
