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.

This study, commissioned by the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency prior to its amalgamation with the Australian Government Department of Industry, surveyed a stratified sample of 4,500 Australian businesses in August 2014. The survey collected a total of 264 responses from employers to a wide range of questions on the factors that influence their engagement, or lack of it, in Work Integrated Learning (WIL). The data includes highly informative qualitative comments on critical contextual issues.

The key findings to emerge from the analysis generally confirm much of what is known about the profile of organisations participating in WIL and the nature of the experiences they offer. However, the findings raise some important policy issues, challenges and opportunities that require consideration. Key findings include:

• Employers typically first participated in WIL after being approached by a university or student. Only 30 organisations took the initiative in approaching a university..

• A clear majority (88 per cent) of organisations participating in WIL plan to continue engaging university students over the next two years.

• Just one in five organisations not participating in WIL have thought about or attempted to engage a student.

• While the umbrella term ‘Work Integrated Learning’ is established among key stakeholders, almost half of the organisations surveyed are not familiar with term.

• Organisations most likely to be active in providing students with WIL experiences are those that have been in operation around 20 years and/or have more than 15 employees.

• For smaller organisations, ensuring the quality of the WIL experience is particularly challenging given their limited resources.

• The two main barriers for organisations currently providing WIL opportunities are lack of resources and time for supervision of the university student.

• The strongest factors encouraging ongoing employer engagement in WIL are support from universities, good personal links with universities, and effective university coordination of students.

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.

Matching skills to labour market demand requires reliable sectoral and occupational information and institutions that connect employers with training providers.  Sector based strategies and institutions have proved effective in engaging all stakeholders in promoting both pre-employment training and life-long learning.

This manual provides an overview of the Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification (STED) programme’s results based management (RBM), and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system and guidance on its application. It explains how and what will be: (i) monitored for STED interventions and the programme as a whole, to determine whether they are on track in achieving their intended results; and (ii) measured to estimate the impact and determine the effectiveness and sustainability of interventions.

The manual serves as a guide for programme implementation and RBM, and also as a communication tool that allows STED and other ILO staff, national and sector stakeholders, collaborating experts, donors, and other development partners to understand how the programme’s objectives and targets will be measured.

Report, U.S. Competitiveness Project, Harvard Business School, November 2014. (This report was authored jointly by Accenture, Burning Glass Technologies, and Harvard Business School.) The market for middle-skills jobs—those that require more education and training than a high school diploma but less than a four-year college degree—is consistently failing to clear. That failure is inflicting a grievous cost on the competitiveness of American firms and on the standard of living of American workers. This report explores how business can lead the charge to close the gap.

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.

World Economic Forum 2017 Around the world, no bigger policy challenge preoccupies leaders than expanding social participation in the process and benefits of economic growth. The report, which covers 109 economies, seeks to improve our understanding of how countries can use a diverse spectrum of policy incentives and institutional mechanisms to make economic growth more socially inclusive without dampening incentives to work, save and invest.

The Report presents a new global index, the Inclusive Development Index (IDI), providing a richer and more nuanced assessment of countries’ level (and recent performance) of economic development than the conventional one based on GDP per capita alone. It also provides a policy framework showing the many factors that can drive a more inclusive growth process.

What do we know about the largest education system in the world? A system that is educating 260 million young people, and that employs 15 million teachers? This report provides a broad overview of how China’s education system is organised and operates, and how reforms, both past and current, have reshaped education in China over time. The report then examines in greater detail education in the four economies within China that participated in the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015. PISA is a triennial international survey which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students.

This report is organised into six chapters. The first outlines China’s national education system and how it works, including the organisation of the system, and how the government deals with educational development, reform and quality improvement, teachers, students, curriculum and teaching. The second chapter introduces current education reforms and relevant nationwide policies, including the challenge of balancing educational development in rural and urban areas, and reforms of the examinations. The remaining four chapters are each devoted to the four participating provinces and municipalities in PISA 2015.

Developed by the European Training Foundation (ETF), the International Labour Office and the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop). For developing and transition countries, skills matching and anticipation is becoming an even more complex task given their particular socio-economic conditions, weak institutions, capacities and governance systems. Many developing countries have limited labour market information, considered the backbone of any education and employment strategy, and more effort and investment is needed to build robust information systems. At the same time, even limited evidence can be better, and more efficiently used, with proper methodological tools and analyses.

To respond to these challenges, the European Training Foundation (ETF), the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) and the International Labour Office have joined forces and combined expertise and geographic coverage to develop a compendium of methodological guides on anticipation and matching of skills supply and demand. They include:

Volume 1: Using labour market information
Volume 2: Developing skills foresights, scenarios and forecasts
Volume 3: Working at sector level
Volume 4: The role of employment service providers
Volume 5: How to develop and run an establishment skills survey
Volume 6: Carrying out tracer studies
