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

This training course will examine methodologies, institutional arrangements and models for analyzing the skills and competences needed for developing key economic sectors and industries.

The International Training Centre of the ILO (ITC/ILO) together with the European Training Foundation (ETF) is organizing a course on ‘Sectorial approaches to skills development’, a highly participatory training to learn about:

- The drivers of change that impact the skills supply and demand at a sectoral level;
- Methodologies, mechanisms, and modalities needed to identify labour market imbalances;
- How to recognize which skills will be needed in the future, and act through a macroeconomic policy framework.

The training will rely on a variety of innovative learning methodologies and group presentations, allowing for knowledge-sharing and reflection. Participants will be encouraged to bring interesting or relevant documents, such as country-specific skills anticipation methodologies.

The deadline to apply is 16 August.

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 European Training Foundation (ETF) invites researchers, practitioners, authorities, social partners, civil society organisations, and experts that work on employment and skills issues to submit abstracts for papers for a new flagship publication.

The European Training Foundation (ETF) invites researchers, practitioners, authorities, social partners, civil society organisations, and experts that work on employment and skills issues to submit abstracts for papers for a new flagship publication. The publication will be produced in 2020 and should address the issue of how global developments are having an impact on jobs, employment patterns and skills demand in transition and developing countries Successful applicants may be invited to present their work at a future ETF international conference on this topic.

The ETF is seeking, in particular, country examples with case studies, backed up with research, including data analysis, which document changes in the labour market in transition and developing countries. These might include changes in sectors and jobs, employment patterns/relations, work places, occupations and skills needs. The papers could be either research-based or analyses of different policies or practices. Examples that focus on the ETF’s partner countries are particularly welcome. Further details of specific topics can be found below.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is 30 June 2019. Abstracts, of around 500 words, should be in English, include a preliminary title and the full names and titles of the authors. The ETF will evaluate the abstracts on the basis of relevance, content quality and language. Decisions will be communicated by 15 July 2019 and final full papers should be submitted by 31 December 2019.
