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

En l’absence de qualifications reconnues, un grand nombre de personnes est gravement désavantagé lorsqu’il s’agit d’obtenir un emploi décent, de migrer vers d’autres régions et d’acquérir une formation supplémentaire, même lorsqu’elles possèdent les connaissances et les aptitudes nécessaires. La validation des acquis de l’expérience (VAE) peut leur permettre d’acquérir une qualification reconnue correspondant à leurs connaissances et à leurs aptitudes qui peut ainsi améliorer leur employabilité, leur mobilité, l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie, ainsi que leur intégration sociale et leur confiance en soi. La discussion en ligne mettra en exergue l’importance de la VAE et soulignera en quoi elle aide à lutter contre la pauvreté et à créer du travail et des emplois.

Les modérateurs de la discussion seront Ashwani Aggarwal et Albert William Okal, spécialistes en compétences et employabilité à l’OIT.

Alors que la mondialisation s’étend à une allure rapide, le monde d’aujourd’hui est marqué par la diversité et la flexibilité accrues des modes de travail, les moyens d’effectuer le travail; la régularité de l’emploi et la mobilité professionnelle. En raison de ces différentes évolutions, les travailleurs ont pu acquérir des compétences et un savoir auprès de sources et selon des modalités diverses, au sein d’un pays ou dans des pays développés, en développement et émergents. Il est important de bien cerner l’ensemble des compétences acquises au cours d’une vie, quel que soit le lieu ou les moyens de leur acquisition, pour que les travailleurs concernés puissent en faire la démonstration. Posséder la preuve des compétences acquises facilite aussi le transfert entre différents postes et peut éliminer les obstacles à la progression des salaires.

Dans les pays en développement, où le taux d’abandon de la scolarité est élevé, nombreux sont les travailleurs qui acquièrent des compétences professionnelles de façon informelle. Pour cette raison, ils rencontrent des difficultés substantielles à obtenir un emploi décent et à poursuivre leur éducation en l’absence de systèmes permettant de reconnaître les connaissances, les aptitudes et les compétences acquises par des moyens non formels et informels. Dans ce contexte, l’accès des travailleurs à des dispositifs qui leur permettent de concrétiser la valeur de leurs acquis pour s’en servir sur le marché du travail revêt une importance croissante. Comme, au niveau mondial, la moitié de la population active travaille et exerce des activités de production dans le secteur informel (et que l’informalité progresse ....

Questions pour la discussion:

1. De quelle façon votre pays utilise-t-il les systèmes de VAE et quels sont les résultats et les enseignements tirés de cette expérience ?

2. Quelles difficultés votre pays a-t-il rencontrées dans la mise en place du dispositif de VAE ?

Le chômage des jeunes à travers le monde reste un problème majeur pour le développement, car près de 70,9 millions d’entre eux sont sans emploi en 2017. En outre, les jeunes sont trois fois plus susceptibles de connaitre le chômage que les adultes. Faire face au problème du chômage des jeunes (et par extension à celui des adultes) est un sujet de préoccupation majeur qui demande de faire une place prioritaire à des politiques modernes d’enrichissement des compétences et d’emploi capables de favoriser la création d’emplois décents et d’éviter les décalages entre les compétences proposées et celles qui sont recherchées.
Le chômage des jeunes à une telle échelle représente un paradoxe de société : alors que de nombreux jeunes recherchent un emploi, bien des employeurs n’arrivent pas à trouver les travailleurs ayant les compétences dont ils ont besoin. Ce type de décalage est fortement accentué par les transformations profondes qui bouleversent le monde du travail comme l’innovation technique, la mondialisation, le changement climatique et les évolutions dans l’organisation du travail dans des secteurs d’activité qui fonctionnent sur plate-forme informatique.

 

 

Ces profondes transformations ont des incidences marquées sur les dispositifs d’éducation et de formation qui doivent trouver les bonnes politiques et les bons programmes à mettre en œuvre. De plus, les systèmes traditionnels où la formation et l’éducation professionnelles sont dispensées à l’école affrontent de façon croissante la nécessité de faire preuve de plus de souplesse et de réactivité pour que les jeunes soient équipés en compétences leur permettant mieux d’assumer les nouveaux emplois aujourd’hui et à l’avenir. Dans ce contexte, les apprentissages de qualité et autres programmes de formation en entreprise ont un rôle essentiel à jouer pour relever les défis du futur monde du travail.

Au cours des deux prochaines semaines, la discussion portera sur les questions suivantes :

1. Quels sont les aspects positifs des apprentissages pour les différents intéressés, comme les employeurs, les syndicats de travailleurs, les gouvernements et les apprentis ? Existe-t-il dans votre pays des institutions chargées de recueillir et de diffuser des informations sur ces aspects positifs ?

2. Étant donné la rapide évolution du marché du travail qui intensifie le décalage entre l’offre et la demande en compétences, dans quelle mesure l’apprentissage peut-il aider à aligner les compétences offertes sur les emplois de demain ?

3. Dans votre pays, existe-t-il une position claire et commune sur les différences entre apprentissages, stages professionnels, stages en entreprise, stages emploi-formation et autres formes d’acquisition de connaissances sur le lieu de travail ?

4. Malgré leurs avantages largement reconnus, pourquoi est-il difficile dans de nombreux pays d’établir, de développer et de maintenir des apprentissages de haute qualité ? Quelles sont les difficultés particulières rencontrées dans votre pays pour les mettre en œuvre et les développer ?

5. Quelles innovations faut-il prévoir pour rendre l’apprentissage plus attrayant tant pour les jeunes que les employeurs, notamment pour les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) ?

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.

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.

Drawing inspiration from this year’s International Women’s Day, this E-Discussion aims to explore and share innovative programmes and good practices that can contribute to the building of a better working world for present and future development—especially for women and other disadvantaged groups. Share your experiences now! Some contributions may also eventually be featured in an ILO publication on the subject.

Many of the global drivers of transformational change will have major implications for skills development. For example, technological advances will fundamentally alter the way we live, work and relate to one another. Referred to by many as The Fourth Industrial Revolution, evolution in robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing and biotechnology will require enormous changes in the skill sets needed to thrive in the new landscape. This revolution is also expected to result in significant job creation and displacement, heightened labour productivity and widening skills gaps.

The pledge that “no one will be left behind” in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its accompanying Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), commits member States to plan to end poverty, combat climate change and fight injustice and inequality.

A number of SDGs are particularly relevant in tackling these transformational drivers of change in the world of work:

- SDG 4 on quality education and lifelong learning;

- SDG 5 on gender equality; and,

- SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth.

Bold changes are needed to stimulate hope and drive for the inclusion of all individuals in present and future development processes. Yet, ensuring that inclusion is equitable is not automatic.

Please read full Guidance Note below.
Week two questions include, among others:
4. Different countries have taken different approaches to promoting inclusive growth through skills development. Yet, is it about broadening access to formal training institutions? Is it about improving the quality and perception of TVET? Is it about specific skills that could promote disadvantaged groups in gaining decent and productive jobs? What is your view and experience?

5. What are unique and innovative programmes in your country that reach out and address specific skills needs of disadvantaged groups?

6. Increased automation will change the nature of jobs and low-skilled workers are likely to face highest employment risks. What kind of skills or skills-plus programmes can assist in enhancing their employability and career prospects?

7. We all know that skills alone may not be sufficient for realizing inclusive growth. How do your country’s skills development initiatives connect to broader programmes that promote inclusive employment and equality of opportunities?

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.

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.

This resource guide on skills development for workers’ organizations has been developed to build the capacity and engagement of workers’ organizations in skills development and lifelong learning. In doing so it answers the following questions:

1. Why should workers’ organizations engage in the area of skills development and lifelong learning?
2. What issues affect their engagement? How do they currently engage in skills development and lifelong learning systems and processes?
3. What should their priority areas be?
4. What elements of skills development and lifelong learning require the engagement of workers’ organizations?

The guide provides examples of how workers organisations are engaged in key areas of skills systems to highlight the importance of a rights-based approach to lifelong learning. It has been designed for trainers, facilitators, ILO officials and most importantly workers' organisations themselves to strengthen the strategic role of workers' organisations and to promote skills development and lifelong learning for all through social dialogue. The guide is the result of a partnership between the Skills & Employability Branch and the Bureau for Workers' Activities (ACTRAV).

VET, apprenticeships and the urgent need to bridge the skills gap in a post-Covid world The global impacts of Covid-19 have been profound, and while governments across the world try to find the right economic and health routes out of the continuing crisis, employers too must find solutions to ensure businesses stay active, with a healthy, optimistic and correctly skilled workforce in place.

This paper argues that, as Alain Dehaze, CEO of The Adecco Group, recently said, now is the time to “invest in people, not only jobs”. Investing in people and their skills is imperative, and the need immediate. The skills gap, apparent long before the outbreak of Covid-19, has accelerated as a result of the pandemic.

Vocational education training (VET) and apprenticeships have proven perfect vehicles for investing in people. Not only do they offer benefits for students as well as employers, but importantly, they can bridge the ever- widening, Covid-fuelled skills gap.

The webinar will take place on Wednesday,18th of November from 12h - 13.30h (CET)

Skills development and lifelong learning systems that are human-centered, based on international labour standards (ILS) and the engagement of social partners through social dialogue, are key to build a better normal in the post-COVID world.

It is in this context that the Bureau for Workers’ Activities (ACTRAV), in collaboration with the Skills & Employability Branch (SKILLS), are organizing the webinar “Skills development and Lifelong Learning: the Role of Trade Unions”.

The webinar is also the occasion for the launch of the “Skills Development and Lifelong Learning: Resource Guide for Workers’ Organizations”.

Both the webinar and the resource guide address key questions for trade unions:
Why should trade unions be involved in skills development and lifelong learning?
What are best practices of trade union involvement at different policy levels, and on the various issues at stake?
What are the key priorities for trade unions?
What are the main challenges to enhance involvement?

This webinar is part of a comprehensive ILO program of support for trade unions in preparation of the General Discussion on Skills and Lifelong Learning (International Labour Conference, 2021), and Standard-setting on Apprenticeships (International Labour Conference, 2022-23).

Le webinaire aura lieu le mercredi 18 novembre de 12h à 13h30 (CET)

Le développement des compétences et des systèmes d'apprentissage tout au long de la vie centrés sur l'humain, basés sur les normes internationales du travail (NIT) et l'engagement des partenaires sociaux par le dialogue social, sont essentiels pour construire une meilleure normalité dans le monde post-COVID.

C’est dans ce contexte que le Bureau des activités pour les travailleurs (ACTRAV), en collaboration avec le Service des compétences et de l’employabilité (SKILLS), organisent le webinaire «Développement des compétences et apprentissage tout au long de la vie: le rôle des syndicats».

Ce webinaire est également l’occasion du lancement du Guide «Développement des compétences et apprentissage tout au long de la vie: Guide de ressources pour les organisations de travailleurs».

Le webinaire et le guide de ressources abordent des questions clés pour les syndicats:
- Pourquoi les syndicats devraient-ils être impliqués dans le développement des compétences et l'apprentissage tout au long de la vie?
- Quelles sont les meilleures pratiques d'implication syndicale à différents niveaux politiques et sur les différentes questions en jeu?
- Quelles sont les principales priorités des syndicats?
- Quels sont les principaux défis pour renforcer la participation?

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

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.

El webinario se realizará el miercoles 18 novembre de 12h00 à 13h30 (CET)

Los sistemas de desarrollo de competencias y aprendizaje permanente centrados en las personas y basados en las normas internacionales del trabajo (NIT), así como la implicación de los interlocutores sociales a través del diálogo social, son primordiales para construir una mejor normalidad en el mundo pospandemia.

En este contexto, la Oficina de Actividades para los Trabajadores (ACTRAV), en colaboración con el Servicio de Conocimientos Teóricos y Prácticos y Empleabilidad (SKILLS), organizan el webinario “Desarrollo de competencias y aprendizaje permanente: el papel de los sindicatos”.

Asimismo, con ocasión del seminario se realizará el lanzamiento de “Desarrollo de competencias y aprendizaje permanente: guía de recursos para las organizaciones de trabajadores”.

Tanto el webinario como la guía de recursos abordan cuestiones fundamentales para los sindicatos:
¿Por qué deberían participar los sindicatos en el desarrollo de competencias y el aprendizaje permanente?
¿Cuáles son las mejores prácticas de la participación sindical a distintos niveles de políticas y sobre las distintas cuestiones en juego?
¿Cuáles son las prioridades fundamentales de los sindicatos?
¿Cuáles son los principales desafíos a la hora de mejorar la participación?

El webinario forma parte de un programa integral de la OIT de apoyo a los sindicatos de cara a la preparación de la Discusión general sobre competencias y aprendizaje permanente (Conferencia Internacional de Trabajo, 2021) y el establecimiento de normas sobre aprendizajes (Conferencia Internacional del Trabajo, 2022-2023).

Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.

Migrant workers

Thumbnail

According to the ILO global estimates on migrant workers, there were around 164 million migrant workers in 2017. 

Migrant workers contribute to growth and development in their countries of destination, while countries of origin greatly benefit from their remittances and the skills acquired during their migration experience. Yet, many migrant workers face challenges in accessing quality training and decent jobs including under-utilization of skills, a lack of employment or training opportunities, lack of information, and exploitation of low-skilled workers.

To address these challenges, countries need to strengthen skills anticipation systems to inform migration policies, increase access to education and training, and establish bilateral or multilateral recognition of qualifications and skills.

Recognition and portability of skills

Thumbnail

Skills development can be viewed from a life-cycle perspective of building, maintaining and improving competencies and skills. A holistic approach to skills development encompasses the following features: access to good basic education; development of cognitive and core skills, including literacy, numeracy, communication, problem-solving and learning ability; and, availability of continuous training opportunities targeting adult and older workers.  Systems to improve recognition of attained skills across occupations, industries and countries improve the employability of workers, reduce labour shortages, and promote good working conditions for migrant workers.

Skills policies and strategies

Thumbnail

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.
