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.

En una época de vertiginosos cambios: ¿es realmente posible anticipar las demandas de formación? Esta es justamente la pregunta a la que ha estado dirigido el programa de transferencia del modelo SENAI de Prospectiva que aquí se presenta.

El SENAI de Brasil desarrolló una metodología para anticipar los cambios y generar las respuestas de transformación en los programas de formación en curso o de generación de nuevos programas. Esta metodología se basa en el análisis prospectivo de las tendencias tecnológicas y ocupacionales de un determinado sector ocupacional para establecer las demandas de formación y asegurar de esta manera su adecuación con los programas ofrecidos.

En esta publicación, se sistematizan tres componentes de este proceso: uno es un reciente análisis de las principales tendencias que se registran en el mundo del trabajo y en la realidad económica de América Latina preparado por el equipo del Centro, el segundo un resumen metodológico actualizado sobre el modelo de prospectiva preparado por el SENAI y el tercero un resumen de las IFP, sectores y estudios realizados.

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.

En pocos ámbitos dentro del amplio espectro que cubre el desarrollo de las competencias de las personas se ha tenido una acción y un acuerdo tan explícito, como en la necesidad de reconocer y certificar las competencias sin importar como fueron adquiridas.

En este título se ha querido presentar una selección de experiencias relacionadas con los procesos de evaluación y certificación de competencias. Son muchos los países donde actualmente se lleva a cabo el reconocimiento de competencias previamente adquiridas. No ha sido posible recoger en este volumen todos los casos, pero sin detrimento de que pueda dedicarse otra publicación a las experiencias que aún restan, aquí se presenta una variedad de enfoques y prácticas que muestran la singularidad del mecanismo de certificación como elemento para hacer realidad la formación a lo largo de la vida. Al efecto, este volumen recoge los sistemas y políticas de certificación de competencia laboral en Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, México y Uruguay.

La creciente importancia del desarrollo sostenible y el paso hacia una economía de bajas emisiones de carbono están aumentando el ritmo de cambio en los mercados laborales y en las necesidades de competencias profesionales. Las economías que evolucionan hacia una producción más verde pueden aprovechar este potencial para crear empleo - que es particularmente relevante para recuperarse de la crisis económica actual - en caso de que puedan afrontar eficazmente el cambio estructural que se anuncia y la transformación de los empleos existentes.

El presente documento es el resumen ejecutivo de una investigación global realizada por el Departamento de Conocimientos Teóricos y Prácticos y Empleabilidad de la OIT, en cooperación con el Centro Europeo para el Desarrollo de la Formación Profesional (Cedefop), para identificar las competencias laborales necesarias en una economía verde.

This report presents the case studies of the People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia and Kazakhstan in their knowledge-based economy approaches. It identifies a range of policies and initiatives that these economies need to consider to strengthen innovation-led growth and make a transition from middle-income to high-income levels.

This report argues that it is absolutely essential for emerging economies in Asia to transition into Knowledge-Based Economies (KBE) to sustain their economic development, while preparing effectively for the future challenges of an increasingly connected global economy. In fact, pursuing KBE development could help emerging economies effectively position themselves better to capitalize on market opportunities by using their unique endowments and strengths. The times are opportune for Asia to accelerate knowledge based economy development.

Proyecciones realizadas por diversos analistas señalan que la actividad de la minería chilena, en los próximos años, alcanzará niveles históricos, tanto en materia de producción como de nuevas inversiones. Alcanzar estas metas impone diversos desafíos, como aumentar la productividad y cautelar la sustentabilidad, pero sin duda, uno de los más importantes, es el que dice relación con el capital humano. El crecimiento de la industria abre oportunidades laborales a miles de personas, pero es imprescindible que éstas cuenten con los conocimientos técnicos y habilidades que la minería requiere. Es un hecho que la mano de obra calificada en el sector es escasa y, con las proyecciones de crecimiento, este fenómeno amenaza con convertirse en un problema que puede poner en riesgo el desarrollo de la industria.

Este Marco de Cualificaciones para la Minería establece con la mayor precisión posible cuáles son las necesidades de formación para este sector, incluyendo perfiles ocupacionales y estándares de entrenamiento. Esta información es clave para el mundo formativo, ya que permite acercar su oferta de capacitación a las necesidades concretas de la industria minera y, con ello, mejorar las opciones de empleabilidad de quienes egresen de los distintos niveles de formación.

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.

Project: The Labour Market Integration of New Arrivals in Europe Over the past 15 years, migration in Europe has changed considerably. The economic boom in the early and mid-2000s and expanded mobility owing to European Union enlargement helped create new populations of migrants from both within and beyond the European Union. These recent migrants are more educated than earlier arrivals and many are highly skilled. Against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, which profoundly affected many migrant-receiving countries in Europe, governments are grappling with questions of how to ensure that immigrants are able to find employment and progress into better jobs over time.

This overview report caps a series of six country case studies evaluating the employment outcomes for foreign-born workers in the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The study examines how easy it is for newcomers in the European Union to establish themselves in destination-country labor markets in the first ten years after arrival, and how well they are able to move out of unskilled work and into middle-skilled jobs.

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

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.

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.

Ukrainian migrant workers acquire various skills beyond vocational training institutions while performing jobs abroad. However, after their return to Ukraine they often have no relevant certificate or other documentary proof of newly acquired skills, thus limiting their employment prospects. Therefore the validation of informal learning is of high importance to returning migrant workers. The publication gives recommendations regarding the system of validation of informal learning and how to implement it in Ukraine.

Due to lack of appropriate qualifications, a large proportion of people face severe disadvantage in getting decent jobs, migrating to other regions and accessing further education, even though they might have the necessary knowledge and skills. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can help such persons acquire a formal qualification that matches their knowledge and skills.

To address this issue, many countries have initiated steps in establishing an RPL system, but are facing challenges to successful implementation. This paper has been produced, taking into account experiences of many countries around the world, with the aim of building the capacity of policy makers and social partners to establish an effective, successful RPL system. The paper suggests 12 key success factors or building blocks of an effective RPL system.
