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.

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

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.

Gender equality

Thumbnail

Women represent both half of the world's population – and half the world's economic potential. Their participation in the labour market reduces poverty because they often invest 90 per cent of their income in the well-being, education and nutrition of their families. Yet labour force participation by women has stagnated at about 55 per cent globally since 2010. Moreover, women are disproportionately represented in precarious work – low-paid, low-skilled and insecure jobs.

Training plays an important role in the pursuit of equality of opportunity and treatment for women and men in the world of work. Yet women often lack access to technical and vocational education and training. Many also lack the basic functional skills, such as literacy and numeracy, to participate meaningfully in the work force. Overcoming this challenge requires the adoption of a life-cycle approach. This includes improving girls’ access to basic education; overcoming logistic, economic and cultural barriers to apprenticeships and to secondary and vocational training for young women; and meeting the training needs of women re-entering the labour market and of older women who have not had equal access to opportunities for lifelong learning.

Educación de las niñas y las mujeres

¿Por qué tanta diferencia entre los géneros y cómo solucionarla? Durante tres días tendrá lugar el Coloquio internacional y el Foro sobre Políticas de la UNESCO y ambos eventos se convertirán en plataformas de debates y de aprendizaje práctico con miras a: .

• presentar los últimos resultados investigativos y prácticos.

• facilitar el diálogo sobre las políticas, compartir las experiencias y plasmarlas en las redes.

• lograr que se reconozca la necesidad de reforzar la educación de las niñas en los tópicos vinculados a las STEM.

El programa se basa en el tema general de la educación de las niñas en materia de las STEM centrado en cuatro subtópicos o ejes temáticos: .

1. Sentar las bases: una educación en el ámbito de las STEM de calidad que tome en cuenta las cuestiones de género.

2. Cambiar la ecuación: abordar los estereotipos y los prejuicios que impiden la participación plena de las niñas.

3. Gravitar en este ámbito: dirigirse hacia, comprometerse y empoderar a las niñas y a las mujeres.

4. Conectarse a la red: alianzas, aprendizaje intersectorial y colaboración.

Este evento congregará a más de 200 delegados, entre los que figuran representantes del Ministerio de Educación y otros altos responsables, profesionales del sector educativo y docentes; investigadores y especialistas, representantes de organizaciones intergubernamentales y no gubernamentales; asociados del ámbito del desarrollo, representantes de la sociedad civil; responsables del sector privado y otros.

El concurso forma parte de las actividades del Centro Internacional UNESCO-UNEVOC para el próximo Día Mundial de las Competencias Juveniles 2017 a celebrar el próximo 15 de julio.

Considerada a menudo como una vía educativa de segunda categoría, la educación y formación técnica y profesional tiene un problema de imagen desde hace decenios. En todo el planeta, el fomento de la EFTP adolece de una escasa inversión, calidad y relevancia. Pero en un mundo que afronta altos niveles de desempleo juvenil, mercados de trabajo en rápida transformación, evoluciones tecnológicas y desigualdades sociales persistentes, el papel crucial de la EFTP cosecha cada vez más reconocimiento. La orientación de la EFTP hacia el mundo del trabajo práctico y la obtención de competencias empleables la convierte en una buena herramienta para responder a la temática global y le confiere un rol importante para contribuir a un desarrollo sostenible.

Ya estén capacitados por una escuela o por un lugar de trabajo, gentes de todo el planeta emplean cada día sus competencias profesionales para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. Lamentablemente, apenas quedan huellas prácticas y reveladoras de las ventajas que aporta la educación y formación técnica y profesional a los jóvenes de cualquier país. Sus historias quedan muchas veces sin contarse, y ello obstaculiza difundir la conciencia y promover la inversión en EFTP.

Los objetivos del concurso y del premio son los siguientes:

- Incrementar la conciencia sobre las ventajas de la EFTP.

- Promover la EFTP como medio que permite responder a desafíos globales como la pobreza, el desempleo juvenil y la desigualdad.

- Recompensar el esfuerzo juvenil por promover el desarrollo sostenible en sus comunidades, obteniendo competencias profesionales y llevándolas a la práctica.

- Contribuir al Archivo Fotográfico de UNESCO-UNEVOC, concebido para satisfacer necesidades de los agentes del sector de la EFTP que deseen promover la educación y formación técnica y profesional a través de proyectos de comunicación o publicación.
