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.

SABER_WfD_Saint_Lucia_CR_Final_2013.pdf
Over the last decade, the government of Saint Lucia has realized the importance of developing its workforce as
a fundamental condition to improve its economic prospects and socioeconomic status. In an effort to aid the
government in this endeavor, the World Bank has provided a diagnostic tool for the assessment of the
institutional bottlenecks that may be hindering progress. 

This assessment was intended by the World Bank as a step towards deepening dialogue on Saint Lucia’s challenges in workforce development. The SABER?WfD assessment classifies the workforce development system according to four stages of maturity in policy and institutional development as (1) latent, (2) emerging, (3) established and (4) advanced. The SABER?WfD assessment results rate Saint Lucia’s system at the emerging level in the functional dimensions of Strategic Framework and System Oversight and at the latent level in Service Delivery. These results highlight that government leaders are gradually becoming committed to WfD as shown by recent efforts towards setting a national strategy that is aligned with the strategic goals of the Island. The lower score when we shift from strategy to implementation, more so in the dimension of Service Delivery shows that, while WfD is surely becoming a significant political priority, training provision practices are yet to be improved.
The SABER?WfD assessment points to particular areas of Saint Lucia’s WfD system which require attention and
improvement, including: (a) developing a national skills development strategy that is aligned with the Island’s
economic prospects and socioeconomic goals; (b) developing, with the collaboration of the Ministry of Finance,
a budget plan that allows the effective implementation of such strategy and sustainable financing mechanisms;
(c) increasing and improving coordination between relevant ministries and government agencies; (d)
encouraging more institutionalized partnerships between training providers and industry; and (e) developing,
alongside the private sector and industry specialists, reliable assessments of the demand for skills.

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.

SABER_WFD_Global_Synthesis.pdf
Investing in skills has risen to the top of the policy agenda today in rich and poor countries alike. As a development partner of emerging economies, the World Bank participates actively in this arena, mobilizing a combination of its assets: development finance, research and analysis, global knowledge, technical assistance, and the convening power to facilitate policy dialogue, including through workshops and study visits. This book contributes to the catalogue of the World Bank’s work. It focuses on workforce development (WfD) systems and presents novel systems-level data generated by the SABER-WfD analytical tool, which was created to implement the Bank’s 10-year Education Sector Strategy launched in 2012.

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

Youth employability

Thumbnail

Globally, nearly 68 million young women and men are looking for and available for work,  and an estimated 123 million young people are working but living in poverty. The number who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) stands at 267 million, a majority of whom are young women. Significantly, young people are three times as likely as adults (25 years and older) to be unemployed.

Skills development is a primary means of enabling young people to make a smooth transition to work. A comprehensive approach is required to integrate young women and men in the labour market, including relevant and quality skills training, labour market information, career guidance and employment services, recognition of prior learning, incorporating entrepreneurship with training and effective skills forecasting. Improved basic education and core work skills are particularly important to enable youth to engage in lifelong learning as well as transition to the labour market.

People with disabilities

Thumbnail

Of an estimated 1 billion people with disabilities in the world today, some 785 million are of working age. While many are successfully employed and fully integrated into society, most face a disproportionate level of poverty and unemployment. This is a massive loss both to them and their countries. A strategy of including people with disabilities in training and employment promotion policies, combined with targeted supports to ensure their participation, can help disabled persons obtain productive mainstream employment.

The digital revolution is having a twofold impact on adult learning: it is changing the world of work, and therefore the competences that workers should develop, and it is redesigning the way learning takes place. As the COVID-19 emergency has shown, the increased use of digital technologies risks to further exclude vulnerable citizens from their lifelong learning journeys: to balance this risk and to enjoy the full impact of the digital revolution, it is time to act by fostering digitally inclusive approaches. The Digital Inclusion Summit will shape collectively a framework of action, inspired by good practices across the globe and provide you with the necessary tools and practices in order not to leave anyone behind through digital technologies.

 

The power of digital inclusion

Digital inclusion is not about hardware or software, it is about leveraging a different mindset, which embraces cultural and cognitive diversity to the fullest, and which is part of a larger digital ecosystem. COVID-19 has shown the amazing potential of digital solutions for lifelong learning and employability, but has also confirmed that an increased use of digital technologies can exclude vulnerable citizens. This event aims, through a marathon of conversations, interactions and networked collaborations, to reach a comprehensive view on this complex issue.

What do we want to do? 

  • Co-create a comprehensive framework of action that systematically integrates the digital inclusion dimension in the world of lifelong learning
  • Get inspired by innovative, impactful and transferable practices from across the globe and learn from experts in the field how to design successful digital inclusion interventions
  • Build a reflective community of practice where knowledge exchange creates unique learning opportunities for professionals with an interest in digital inclusion for lifelong learning.

Who is the Summit for? 

  • Individuals (grassroots practitioners, researchers, experts) who want to learn about latest developments and best practices in the field 
  • Organisations (training providers, NGOs, etc) which want to upgrade their strategy and capacity to implement digital inclusion initiatives
  • Policy-makers dealing with social and digital inclusion through lifelong learning, who want to discuss the best ways to approach complex digital inclusion issues.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is launching a new guide on Promoting Social Cohesion and Peaceful Coexistence in Fragile Contexts through TVET.

The guide was piloted in Turkey as part of the ILO’s Refugee response programme, and in Kenya, Ethiopia, Jordan and Uganda under the Partnership for improving prospects for forcibly displaced persons and host communities (PROSPECTS). The guide shall be systematically included in TVET curricula and delivery in fragile contexts and be a resource to support skills and employment interventions.

The guide is aimed at TVET practitioners to strengthen their role as active promoters of social cohesion and peaceful co-existence. It helps assist ILO constituents, partners and TVET practitioners to strengthen the role of skills development policies and programmes in peacebuilding efforts through inclusive learning methodologies and the training of relevant core skills. It provides practical guidance to trainers and managers of training centres on how to adapt training delivery to mixed groups, embed conflict resolution skills, cooperation, and other relevant core skills into training curricula, and create conflict sensitive, inclusive, and diverse learning environments for all.

The guide was piloted in Turkey, Kenya, Ethiopia, Jordan and Uganda and shall be systematically included in TVET curricula and delivery in fragile contexts and be a resource to support skills and employment interventions.

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.

This literature review provides a solid entry point into the still under-researched area of staff management in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

This literature review takes stock of existing theories, research and relevant policy initiatives. It analyses research results regarding what is strategic staff management practice in SMEs, which barriers does it face, as well as its main enablers. Particular attention is given to the role of national skills systems and to the development of lifelong learning. Its conclusions provide practical suggestions that will inform future research and the development of practical tools for SMEs.

Despite constituting over 90% of businesses and employing over 70% of the global workforce SMEs tend to have a weaker grasp of strategic management of staff and to be less equipped to deal with structural changes and large systemic shocks. Responding to the challenges brought upon by digital innovation, automation and greening of the economy, as well as the effects of Covid-19 will require businesses to make complex choices in terms of staff management. Seizing the economic opportunities that will emerge during the recovery period will require that smaller businesses adopt forward-looking strategies to plan, develop and manage their workforce.
