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.

The overarching objective of this study is to address the skills requirements of the manufacturing sector in Ireland over the period 2012-2020. Specifically this entails an analysis of global drivers of change; a statistical profile of skills supply and demand in the sector; a quantitative assessment of future skills needs through economic modelling; a qualitative assessment of future skills needs identified through consultations with enterprises and industry stakeholders; and recommendations to address immediate and future skills requirements. The report highlights the importance of continuous up-skilling requirements across all occupations. It argues that the manufacturing sector needs to do more to promote and boost the attractiveness of manufacturing as a career choice since there are highly varied and rewarding career paths within the sector, with good potential for mobility, however, these are often not apparent to students or those working outside of the sector.

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

Presented at the WTO Fourth Global Review of Aid for Trade ILO Side Event “Skills for Competitiveness” Geneva, July 2013 The presentation introduces the ILO’s programme on Skills for Trade and Economic Classification, or STED. It is a capacity-building tool to help constituents identify sectors with export growth potential, assess skill gaps in those industries, and design and implement appropriate responses to fill those gaps. It does so through building up the capacity of local statistics offices and academic institutions to adapt and apply quantitative assessment tools and by determining policy recommendations through an extensive process of social dialogue. In the last three years, pilot testing of STED was completed in Ukraine, Bangladesh, Macedonia, and Kyrgyzstan.

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.

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.

El Instituto Nacional de Formación Técnico Profesional (INFOTEP) preocupado por ofrecer una mejor respuesta a la necesidades de capacitación de los recursos humanos de los distintos sectores de la economía del país y contribuir a su desarrollo, realizó este estudio en el área de edificaciones, con el objetivo de brindar capacitación en función de las nuevas tecnologías que impactarán este importante sector de la economía nacional en los próximos 10 años.

El estudio fue coordinado por la OIT/CINTERFOR con el apoyo del Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje Industrial de Brasil (SENAI), responsable de la transferencia de la metodología prospectiva, a través de la realización de varios talleres a las diferentes instituciones de la red.

El sector construcción es uno de los sectores que más aporta al crecimiento económico de la República Dominicana. Es un gran generador de empleo directo e indirecto y contribuye a la dinámica económica y al desarrollo del mercado. Es de gran importancia por la cantidad de empresas constructoras que involucra en forma directa, por su efecto dinamizador en una alta gama de insumos que demanda y la gran cantidad de puestos de trabajo que crea.

Los resultados de este estudio serán de gran utilidad para la institución, además de ser una guía necesaria para modificar los programas existentes del sector construcción civil y crear nuevos planes de estudios, anticipándose a las nuevas demandas del mercado laboral.

SENAI has developed a Prospection Model that makes it possible to anticipate the demand for professional competencies and is based on different types of analyses, among them: technological, organizational, emerging occupations, impact, occupational trends, vocational training (VT). In performing studies, SENAI connects with a variety of sources: universities, enterprises, science and technology centres, sectoral experts and others.

The SENAI Prospective Model has proved its validity, quality and relevance, both in Latin America and in other regions. This acknowledgement extends to the vocational training institutions (VTIs) that make up the network coordinated by ILO/Cinterfor, which have repeatedly requested the transfer of this knowledge.

This paper provides a compilation of the results of the process of the programme “Skills anticipation – The Transfer of the SENAI Prospective Model” developed with five agencies: INA/Costa Rica, ILO-CINTERFOR INFOTEP/Dominican Republic, INSAFORP/El Salvador, INTECAP/Guatemala and INADEH/Panama.

In the Organization's experience, strategies for improving productivity work best if they are designed at the sectoral level. At the sectoral level, it is easier to foster collaboration between employers, workers and relevant education, training or other governmental institutions. It is also easier to ensure alignment between skills development policies and other development policies

OECD Skills Studies The report discusses the results of the OECD "Leveraging Training and Skills Development in SMEs" project which examines access to training by SMEs across seven regions in six OECD countries: New Zealand, Poland, Belgium, UK, Turkey and Canada. It looks at how both formal and alternative ways of training and skills development interact and identifies impacts at three levels: for the firm and employees; for the industry; and for the local area where the firm is located. The report pays special attention to the development of entrepreneurial skills and the emerging area of "green skills".

The strategy is structured around four key priority themes:

– empowering people to ensure they have the opportunity to access the right advice, support and opportunities to acquire the skills and attributes to both contribute to and benefit from future economic success;
– supporting employers by better understanding and assessing the skills they need for future success, and ensuring that the supply of skills, training and qualifications can be responsive to this;
– simplifying the skills system to ensure that it is more coherent and easy to understand for individuals and employers;
– strengthening partnerships and collective responsibility between public, private and third sectors to help improve skills and the contribution they make towards achieving Scotland’s social and economic aspirations.

The strategy aims to promote equal access to and participation in skills, career information, advice and guidance and learning activities for everyone. It is intended to promote equality of opportunity to those who face persistent disadvantage and to improve the numbers of people economically active across all groups within society.
