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.

Recognizing the importance of innovation for the renewed calls for lifelong learning, the ILO has initiated the development of a Skills Innovation Facility. The Facility identifies and tests promising and innovative ideas and solutions that address the major skills challenges of today and of tomorrow.

 
 

Skills systems are confronted by the need to respond to increasingly dynamic and fluid labour market and societal conditions. Climate change, technology, demographic shifts, migration and globalization are causing increasing disruption to the world of work, while making skills development increasingly complex, fluid and unpredictable. Addressing contemporary skills challenges requires more dynamic and integrated skills and lifelong learning ecosystems.

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.

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.

Las zonas rurales contribuyen significativamente al empleo y crecimiento económico en muchos países. De 5,98 mil millones de personas en el mundo en desarrollo, cerca de 3,4 mil millones viven en zonas rurales, y un número significativo depende de la agricultura para su sustento.

Las zonas rurales prósperas tienen una importancia decisiva para el desarrollo regional y nacional. Tanto la educación como la iniciativa empresarial y las infraestructuras físicas y sociales desempeñan un papel importante en el desarrollo de las regiones rurales.

Durante las próximas dos semanas, la PIC Global pondrá en marcha la discusión sobre dos frentes: 1) los desafíos en materia de competencias que enfrentan las personas que viven en zonas rurales, y; 2) lo que funciona en la promoción y el mantenimiento de desarrollo de competencias en las áreas rurales. Le recomendamos leer la nota de orientación sobre el tema de discusión que se encuentra al final de esta página.

Esta semana, nos gustaría conocer su opinión sobre las siguientes cuestiones:
¿Qué medidas se han introducido para impulsar el empleo en las zonas rurales -en sectores agrícolas y no agrícolas-, y qué tipo de competencias se prevén en gran demanda como parte de una estrategia integrada de las zonas rurales?

¿Qué funciona mejor para impartir formación -a un costo eficiente- para un significativo número de personas viviendo en zonas rurales? ¿Y cuál es la mejor manera de mantener la entrega de desarrollo de habilidades en áreas rurales a largo plazo?

¿Cuáles son los ejemplos de iniciativas y programas de habilidades que han mejorado el resultado de la formación, es decir, los ingresos y el trabajo decente en las zonas rurales?

¿Cuáles son los ejemplos de iniciativas y programas de habilidades que han mejorado el resultado de la formación, es decir, los ingresos y el trabajo decente en las zonas rurales?

¿Cómo podemos garantizar la participación del sector privado en el desarrollo de competencias en las áreas rurales?

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.

Del 21 de noviembre al 2 de diciembre de 2016.

Esta discusión permitirá a expertos, profesionales y representantes de varias instituciones y empresas en diferentes partes del mundo a unirse virtualmente para plantear preguntas, compartir experiencias y enfrentar desafíos sobre la implementación de enfoques sectoriales para el desarrollo de habilidades. Los moderadores la discusión serán los expertos en Competencias y Empleabilidad de la OIT, Paul Comyn y Akiko Sakamoto. (La discusión funciona mejor cuando se accede desde los siguientes navegadores: Chrome o Firefox.)

 

Reforzar la capacidad de los trabajadores para adaptarse a las cambiantes demandas del mercado y aprovechar la innovación y las inversiones en nuevas tecnologías, energía limpia, medio ambiente, salud e infraestructura permite a los países ser más competitivos en la economía mundial y responder mejor a los crecientes desafíos del mercado laboral. Sin embargo, para aumentar las inversiones en cualificaciones profesionales con objeto de responder mejor a las necesidades actuales y las tendencias mundiales que afectan a todas las regiones, es preciso reformar las políticas, las instituciones y sistemas de educación y formación técnica y profesional (EFTP) y los métodos de formación.

Por otra parte, al responder a la crisis actual del empleo juvenil, que se caracteriza por los elevados niveles de desempleo y los empleos de baja calidad y escasa remuneración, la EFTP puede contribuir a minimizar el desajuste de competencias, que afecta de manera desproporcionada a los jóvenes de los países en desarrollo. Además, la orientación de la EFTP hacia el mundo del trabajo puede ayudar a suavizar la transición de la educación al empleo.

Le recomendamos leer la nota de orientación sobre el tema de discusión que se encuentra al final de esta página.

Preguntas de la segunda semana:
5. ¿Cuáles son los factores clave que determinarán la naturaleza y los tipos de competencias que se necesitan en el futuro y cómo pueden mejorar los sistemas de EFTP su respuesta a los cambios en la demanda de competencias?

6. ¿Hasta qué punto se basan las operaciones de las instituciones de EFTP de su país en una evaluación regular y continuada de las tendencias del mercado laboral y del sector empresarial?

7. ¿Qué papel desempeñan las asociaciones público-privadas a la hora de garantizar que la formación formal tenga más en cuenta las necesidades individuales de los trabajadores y de los empleadores?

Ante la ausencia de calificaciones reconocidas, una gran proporción de personas presentan severas desventajas en obtener empleos decentes, migrar a otras regiones y acceder a educación prolongada. Esto, a pesar de que puede que cuenten con los conocimientos y las competencias necesarias. El proceso de reconocimiento del aprendizaje previo puede ayudar estas personas a adquirir calificaciones formales que correspondan a sus conocimientos y competencias y de este modo contribuir a mejorar la empleabilidad, movilidad, el aprendizaje permanente, la inclusión social y la autoestima. Esta discusión resaltará la importancia del reconocimiento del aprendizaje previo y cómo estos sistemas contribuyen a la reducción de la pobreza, la creación de empleo y la empleabilidad.

Los moderadores la discusión serán los expertos en Competencias y Empleabilidad de la OIT, Ashwani Aggarwal y Albert William Okal. (La discusión funciona mejor cuando se accede desde los siguientes navegadores: Chrome o Firefox.)

 

El mundo globalizado de hoy en día, que evoluciona rápidamente, se caracteriza por una diversidad y flexibilidad crecientes en lo que respecta a dónde trabajan las personas, cómo trabajan, la regularización del y la movilidad para trabajar. Debido a estos cambios, los trabajadores han podido adquirir calificaciones y conocimientos a través de muy diversas fuentes y medios, tanto dentro de los países como entre las economías desarrolladas, en desarrollo y emergentes. Reflejar las competencias que adquieren las personas a lo largo de su vida, independientemente de los medios que utilicen para ello, es importante para asegurar que los trabajadores tengan pruebas de todas las calificaciones obtenidas. La existencia de pruebas de las calificaciones adquiridas facilita asimismo la transición entre los diferentes empleos, y puede eliminar los obstáculos para el crecimiento de los salarios.

En los países en desarrollo en los que la tasa de abandono escolar es alta, muchos trabajadores adquieren calificaciones en el lugar de trabajo a través de medios informales. Como consecuencia, tienen grandes dificultades para hallar un empleo decente y proseguir su educación si no existen sistemas de reconocimiento de los conocimientos, las calificaciones y ….

3. Los sistemas de reconocimiento pueden ser utilizados para promover un crecimiento económico más incluyente y sostenible que beneficie a todos. Desde su perspectiva, ¿cuáles son los potenciales beneficios que los sistemas de reconocimiento de aprendizaje previo pueden ofrecer a trabajadores migrantes/refugiados?

El desempleo juvenil mundial sigue siendo un importante problema de desarrollo, ya que en 2017 se contabilizaron casi 70,9 millones de jóvenes desempleados. Además, los jóvenes tienen tres veces más probabilidades de estar desempleados que los adultos. Responder al problema del desempleo juvenil (y, por extensión, del desempleo de los adultos) es una cuestión que suscita una gran preocupación y requiere poner en primer plano políticas modernas de empleo y de fortalecimiento de las competencias que promuevan la creación de empleos decentes y hagan frente al desajuste entre la oferta y la demanda de competencias. El desempleo juvenil a gran escala representa una paradoja social: si bien muchos jóvenes buscan trabajo, muchos empleadores no encuentran a trabajadores que tengan las competencias que necesitan.

 

Este tipo de desajuste entre la oferta y la demanda de competencias se ve acentuado considerablemente por los cambios transformadores que afectan al mundo del trabajo, tales como la innovación tecnológica, la globalización, el cambio climático y los cambios en la organización del trabajo a través de economías basadas en plataformas. Estos cambios transformadores tienen importantes consecuencias para los sistemas de educación y formación, que deben hallar las políticas y programas adecuados. Además, los sistemas tradicionales de educación y formación profesional en la escuela se enfrentan a crecientes retos para ser más flexibles y reactivos a fin de asegurar que los jóvenes estén mejor preparados y tengan las competencias necesarias para realizar nuevos trabajos en la actualidad y en el futuro. Ante esta situación, los aprendizajes de calidad y otros programas de aprendizaje en el trabajo son esenciales para encarar el reto que representa el futuro mundo del trabajo.

Entre los temas que deben discutirse en las dos próximas semanas figuran los siguientes:

1. ¿Cómo benefician los aprendizajes a diversas partes interesadas, como los empleadores, los sindicatos, los gobiernos y los aprendices? ¿Existen instituciones en su país que recopilen y difundan datos concluyentes sobre los beneficios de los aprendizajes?

2. Habida cuenta de los rápidos cambios en el mercado de trabajo que contribuyen al aumento de los desajustes entre la oferta y la demanda de calificaciones, ¿en qué medida son importantes los aprendizajes al ajustar la oferta de competencias al futuro del trabajo?

3. En su país, ¿existe un entendimiento común claro de las diferencias existentes entre los aprendizajes, las pasantías, las prácticas de formación, los programas de formación duales y otras formas de aprendizaje en el trabajo?

4. A pesar de los beneficios ampliamente reconocidos, ¿por qué muchos países tienen dificultades para establecer, mejorar y mantener aprendizajes de gran calidad? ¿Qué problemas concretos surgen al llevar a cabo y expandir los aprendizajes en su país?

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.

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.

Moderators

 

Esta discusión invita a los representantes de los gobiernos, a las organizaciones de empleadores y de trabajadores, a los profesionales de la educación y formación técnica y a los instructores, a las ONG y a las personas, entre otros, a compartir y discutir cómo mantener el aprendizaje continuo y el desarrollo de competencias entre aquéllos que se incorporan a la fuerza de trabajo, los aprendices y los trabajadores en tiempos de crisis. También tiene por objeto analizar prácticas innovadoras pertinentes y oportunas en materia de aprendizaje y educación.

El mundo del trabajo está viéndose profundamente afectado por el COVID-19. No sólo corre peligro la salud de millones de personas, sino que también están en juego sus medios de sustento y su bienestar a largo plazo. En las últimas semanas, la pandemia del coronavirus (COVID-19) ha planteado retos únicos para todos los tipos y niveles de aprendizaje, incluida la escolarización, la EFTP, los aprendizajes y el desarrollo de competencias. Además, también ha estimulado la discusión sobre la necesidad de acelerar la innovación en el aprendizaje en línea, y la facilitación de EFTP y de formación para la adquisición de competencias. Para más información sobre el impacto más amplio de COVID-19 en el empleo y los trabajos, y sobre las posibles medidas de mitigación, descargue la nota informativa de la OIT que figura más abajo.

En este contexto, tenemos la oportunidad de analizar el concepto de “aprendizaje y formación en cualquier lugar, en cualquier momento”, que se trata de una idea central para el concepto de aprendizaje permanente.

 

Debemos explorar asimismo metodologías de aprendizaje innovadoras para los aprendices y los trabajadores que adquieren o mejoran sus competencias fundamentalmente en el lugar de trabajo.

Esta discusión electrónica pretende aumentar los conocimientos sobre prácticas innovadoras en materia de educación y formación, en particular las que están utilizando la tecnología para promover el desarrollo de competencias. La discusión electrónica también nos permitirá considerar los nuevos retos que se plantean en el contexto actual a medida que avanzamos hacia formas en línea de aprendizaje y de desarrollo de competencias, en particular cómo asegurarnos de que nadie quede excluido de las nuevas formas de aprendizaje y formación.

Para comenzar la discusión, le invitamos a que formule comentarios sobre los siguientes temas:

Preguntas de la segunda semana
1. ¿Qué enfoques nuevos e innovadores del aprendizaje y el desarrollo de competencias ha observado en su entorno desde el inicio de la pandemia?

2. ¿En qué medida pueden adaptarse los educandos a estas formas nuevas y cambiantes de formación y aprendizaje?

3. ¿Qué medidas se están adoptando a fin de asegurar que los educandos potenciales conozcan las soluciones de aprendizaje existentes y puedan acceder a ellas y utilizarlas de manera autónoma?

4. ¿Prevé que la situación actual tendrá un impacto en el concepto de aprendizaje permanente?

5. ¿Qué nuevas formas de alianzas, por ejemplo, alianzas público-privadas y colaboraciones, están surgiendo durante este período de crisis?

Effective governance and coordination are key elements of successful skill systems. Whilst coordination is an important factor, it needs to operate alongside other key conditions to strengthen governance. When multi-level governance is supported by effective communication, sustainable financing and effective coordination, it has the best chance of supporting the establishment of an LLL ecosystem that enables individuals and enterprises to more effectively navigate the world of work and learning. This policy brief revies the key issues that affect governance and coordination in skill systems and proposes a number of measures and principles through which reforms can take place. It has drawn on recent research by the ILO, UNESCO and other international organisations to highlight the importance of coordination and demonstrates how more effective coordination can have tangible positive effects on governance and key areas of policy and practice in skill systems.
