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.

Nota informativa 8

Se considera que los cambios tecnológicos, climáticos y demográficos, junto con otros factores determinantes, repercuten considerable y diversamente sobre la demanda de capacidades básicas (véanse las notas informativas núms. 2, 6 y 10). El futuro del trabajo requerirá un doble ajuste de los sistemas de desarrollo de las capacidades. En primer lugar, esos sistemas deberán proporcionar las capacidades básicas que permitan a las personas aprovechar las oportunidades tecnológicas cambiantes. En segundo lugar, deberán facilitar la formación dinámica a lo largo del ciclo de vida, para garantizar que las personas sigan el ritmo de la digitalización y otros factores de cambio.

Esta nota informativa ofrece una visión general de las capacidades profesionales necesarias para el futuro del trabajo y considera cómo podría llevarse a cabo la transformación de los sistemas de desarrollo de capacidades para satisfacer estas necesidades. También plantea cuestiones sobre la financiación de la formación permanente y sobre las responsabilidades respectivas de los gobiernos, las empresas y los trabajadores.

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.

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.

The Programme seeks to build the capacity of international TVET experts to become change agents in their institutions and countries.

In an era characterized by fast-paced technological change and growing competition, it is evident that the ‘world of work’ keeps changing at a fast rate. It is also evident that as economic, technological and social developments constantly evolve and diversify, so do the skill requirements in the workplace. For economies to become or stay competitive, it is essential that national TVET leaders are aware of such developments, and have the required management and leadership skills to translate their understanding into action. Worldwide, many TVET institutions are struggling to make the necessary changes to stay connected to global developments. A perceived bottleneck in effecting change in TVET institutions relates to the lack of change leaders, and a lack of capacity to develop a vision and implement change. The UNEVOC TVET Leadership Programme seeks to address this bottleneck by building the capacity of international TVET experts to become change agents in their institutions and countries. For transformative TVET leaders to be effective, they need to have a clear vision, a sound thematic knowledge base to support and defend their vision, and the leadership and management skills to drive change.

The UNEVOC TVET Leadership Programme addresses these three key elements – ‘vision for change’, ‘knowledge for change’, and ‘skills for change’ – in 9 modules over the course of 10 days. The Programme brings together TVET experts and participants in a highly engaging environment, including practical exercises, intense group work, and the sharing of experiences and case studies. International experts lead the modules and special lectures, explaining the latest developments in policy and practice, and present the latest knowledge in their respective fields. A field trip will allow participants to link theory and practice.

América Latina y el Caribe es una región sumamente diversa, pero a la vez una que tiene una serie de retos comunes. La Oficina Regional para América Latina y el Caribe ha hecho un esfuerzo por capturar y resumir los principales retos de la región vistos desde la perspectiva de la promoción del empleo productivo, el trabajo decente y la justicia social, y de agrupar la visión resultante en tres áreas prioritarias de trabajo.

El resultado es el presente documento que agrupa las diferentes líneas de trabajo en tres grandes áreas prioritarias: (1) Políticas de desarrollo productivo para el crecimiento inclusivo con más y mejores empleos, (2) Promover el tránsito a la formalidad y (3) Promover el respeto y aplicación de las normas internacionales de trabajo (NITs) y de la legislación del trabajo.

Por ese motivo esta publicación contiene tres documentos, uno para cada una de las prioridades. Cada documento analiza en un breve diagnóstico la situación y tendencias de los países de la región en cada una de ellas, explica su alineamiento con los mandatos y prioridades globales de la OIT, así como su contribución a la ejecución del programa y presupuesto de la Organización, y plantea las principales direcciones estratégicas para el trabajo en cada tema en la región.

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 2017 edition of the series Global Employment Trends for Youth provides an update on key youth labour market indicators, trends and policies, focusing both on continuing labour market instability and on structural issues faced by young people across the world. It looks at the future of work for young women and men, in particular, the link between new automation and digital technologies and youth employment prospects. It also examines youth perceptions of the future based on the ILO’s Youth and the Future of Work Survey. Incorporating the most recent employment trends for young women and men, Global Employment Trends for Youth sets out the youth labour market situation around the world. It shows where progress has or has not been made, updates world and regional youth labour market indicators, and gives detailed analyses of medium-term trends in youth population, labour force, employment, unemployment, working poverty and informality.

The 2017 edition discusses the implications of technological change for youth labour market prospects – both quantity and quality – focusing on trends in sectoral employment and on the forms of work available to young people.
