Monitoring and evaluation

Thumbnail

Measuring the outcomes of skills systems, policies and targeted programmes is essential in order to monitor and improve their effectiveness and relevance. Elements of sound assessment processes include: institutions to sustain feedback from employers and trainees; mechanisms to track labour market outcomes of training and systems of accountability that use this information; and, quantitative and qualitative labour market information and its dissemination to all stakeholders.

Participation of employers' and workers' organizations

Thumbnail

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.

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.

En Afrique de l'Ouest, le manque de passerelles entre les systèmes de compétences, la faiblesse des systèmes de validation des acquis de l'expérience et le manque d'opportunités de perfectionnement pertinentes restent un obstacle majeur à l'inclusion sociale et à l'accès à un travail décent pour les travailleurs migrants. C'est particulièrement le cas pour les travailleurs peu et moyennement qualifiés, qui constituent la majorité des travailleurs migrants dans la sous-région.

Ce rapport décrit le travail effectué par l'OIT pour répondre à la promotion de la reconnaissance mutuelle des compétences et renforcer les partenariats de compétences entre le Ghana, le Nigeria et le Togo. Il décrit les processus et les leçons apprises, et discute des défis et des opportunités dans la perspective de progresser vers la reconnaissance mutuelle des acquis, des compétences et des qualifications. Le processus présenté dans ce rapport est toujours en cours au moment de la publication. Les auteurs de ce rapport ont cherché à fournir un compte rendu précis des efforts et des activités menées, ce qui pourrait inspirer et innover le processus de partenariat de compétences.

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.

Digital skills

Thumbnail

The world of work is undergoing a substantial transformation due to new forces. In particular, technological advances, such as AI, automation and robotics, have produced numerous new opportunities, but also given rise to urgent challenges. While new jobs are constantly being created with the emergence of the digital economy, many jobs are at risk of becoming obsolete. Digital innovations will rapidly change the demand for skills, thereby creating a wider skills gap that has the potential to hold back economic growth. Equipping people with basic or advanced digital skills promises to prepare them for unprecedented job opportunities in the digital economy. This will lead to innovation, higher productivity and competitiveness, as well as expanding markets, access to work and entrepreneurship opportunities.

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 first ILO Skills Virtual Fair aimed to foster South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC), to tackle specific skills development challenges. It focused on four main topics: 1) quality apprenticeships; 2) skills needs anticipation; 3) digital skills and digital transformation; and 4) skills in agriculture. 

The Fair gathered more than 1,000 registered participants from 132 countries and included over 10 panel discussions with policy-makers and representatives of training institutions from Africa, Asia and the Americas. The Fair also featured thirty-nine virtual booths highlighting examples of good practices and digital solutions for skills development.

Participants had the opportunity to present innovations, engage and exchange knowledge and experiences directly with others to broaden their networks and build partnerships. As a direct positive result of the two-days virtual event, at least six new partnerships were developed among partners from South Africa, India, Switzerland, Democratic Republic of Congo, Vietnam, Brazil and Tanzania.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Au Burkina Faso, le problème de l’emploi des jeunes constitue un véritable défi à relever. Il se caractérise particulièrement par le chômage élevé des jeunes diplômés, la vulnérabilité des femmes sur le marché du travail, le sous-emploi élevé en milieu rural, la forte proportion des jeunes et des femmes dans l’économie informelle, et le faible développement des compétences des jeunes et des femmes.

Dans le cadre du projet « Appui à l’Initiative mondiale pour l’emploi décent des jeunes dans la région du Sahel », l’OIT, a mis en œuvre l’Enquête sur la transition vers la vie active (ETVA) au Burkina Faso. Cette étude a déjà été réalisée dans vingt-huit pays entre 2012 et 2016. Au Burkina Faso, l’étude á été conduite par l’Institut national de la statistique et de la démographique (INSD). L’ETVA donne des informations importantes sur le cheminement des jeunes burkinabè qui quittent l’école pour s’insérer sur le marché du travail ainsi que des pistes de recommandations politiques en faveur de l’emploi des jeunes.

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 Rapid STED guide aims to help countries in carrying out this strategic skills anticipation, including
selection of priority sectors for policy attention, analysis of a sector’s position and prospects, what it
must strengthen to achieve that vision for the future, how skills can contribute to this, and what the
choice of strategy and plan of action should be.

This new guide provides advice on implementing an updated approach to STED that has been piloted in a number of countries over the last two years in collaboration with national partners. It aims to speed the process, to deepen collaboration, to build capacity among national and sector partners, to improve their skills strategies, and to help move more effectively from diagnosis of skills needs to implementation of the skills development responses required.

It differs from full STED in that it does not rely on primary survey research, and in that the process centres on a substantial Technical and Policy Foresight workshop involving industry, national and sector partners, and providers of education and training. Its focus on collaboration and consultation with partners throughout the process is more comprehensive than that set out for full STED in the original STED Practical Guide.
