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

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.

There is a growing interest in apprenticeship in the business world due to its potential to make a meaningful contribution to resolving the youth employment crisis and the prospect of developing a well-trained and productive workforce. In response to the interest expressed by business leaders, the ILO, in collaboration with the International Employers Organization, conducted a feasibility study to explore options for developing a global business network on apprenticeships for youth employment.

The research gathered information from businesses about their current apprenticeship programmes and sought their views on how an international network could be valuable to them. This field work was carried out in six countries: Argentina, India, Germany, South Africa, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. On the basis of information and experience collected from businesses and other interested parties in selected sectors and countries, the study documented country apprenticeship practices, explored the expected mandate and objectives of this network, identified the types of services that would be valued, ascertained the possible degree of commitment of potential members, and examined options for the network’s governance structure and viable financing mechanisms.

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.

El presente trabajo se enmarca en las prioridades establecidas por los constituyentes de la OIT en el Programa de Trabajo Decente por País Argentina 2012-2015 y obedece a una iniciativa orientada a destacar la importancia de los Consejos Sectoriales de Formación Continua y Certificación de Competencias Laborales entre 2003 y 2013.

El estudio, realizado por el Ministerio de Trabajo, Empleo y Seguridad Social de la Argentina (MTEySS) con el apoyo de la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT), busca sistematizar la experiencia de los Consejos, reflexionar sobre su configuración y sustentabilidad y aportar recomendaciones dirigidas a fortalecer el futuro Sistema Nacional de Formación Continua.

El documento comienza con un apartado introductorio que ofrece una descripción de las diferentes líneas de acción que el MTEySS lleva adelante en el campo de la formación profesional y de los fundamentos que orientan la creación de un Sistema Nacional de Formación Continua. El mismo fue elaborado por Susana Barasatian y Mónica Sladogna, funcionarias de la citada cartera de Estado.

En el cuerpo central, Beatriz Cappelletti y Jutta Marx, con la asistencia de Mora Medici, analizan los procesos de constitución y consolidación de los Consejos Sectoriales Tripartitos de Formación Continua y Certificación de Competencias e identifican aspectos que podrían facilitar los procesos de consolidación y mayor institucionalización de las mencionadas instancias. Las autoras presentan un análisis de la experiencia de los Consejos Sectoriales Nacionales de Canadá y de la Fundación Tripartita de España, con el objetivo de individualizar algunos aspectos que podrían ser de utilidad para el debate acerca de los objetivos centrales del estudio. El trabajo culmina con la formulación de conclusiones y recomendaciones que toman en cuenta tanto los avances alcanzados como los desafíos a sortear en perspectiva de una mayor consolidación e institucionalización de estos Consejos.

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.

Skills and employment policies should be viewed together.  The full value of one policy set is realized when it supports the objectives of the other.  For investments in education and training to yield maximum benefit to workers, enterprises, and economies, countries’ capacities for coordination is critical in three areas: connecting basic education to technical training and then to market entry; ensuring continuous communication between employers and training providers so that training meets the needs and aspirations of workers and enterprises, and integrating skills development policies with industrial, investment, trade, technology, environmental, rural and local development policies.

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

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.
