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

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.

Moderators

 

Les modérateurs de la discussion seront Paul Comyn et Akiko Sakamoto, spécialistes en compétences et employabilité à l’OIT. La fonction de discussion fonctionne mieux quand on y accède par les navigateurs suivants: Chrome ou Firefox.

 

En renforçant la capacité des travailleurs à s’adapter à l’évolution des exigences du marché et à tirer parti de l’innovation et des investissements dans les domaines des nouvelles technologies, de l’énergie propre, de l’environnement, de la santé et de l’infrastructure, les nations peuvent devenir plus compétitives dans le contexte économique mondial et mieux répondre aux défis posés de façon croissante par le marché du travail. Mais accroître l’investissement en compétences pour satisfaire les besoins actuels et mieux répondre aux tendances qui touchent toutes les régions du monde appelle la réforme des orientations, des institutions et des méthodes de formation.

Dans la lutte contre la crise mondiale actuelle de l’emploi des jeunes – caractérisée par un taux élevé de chômage et des emplois médiocres et mal rémunérés - l'EFTP peut aider à réduire l’inadéquation des compétences qui touche à un degré disproportionné les jeunes des pays en développement. De plus le fait que l’EFTP est tourné vers le monde du travail peut faciliter la transition entre le milieu scolaire et celui de l’emploi.

Voir note explicative complète à la fin de la page.

Questions pour la deuxième semaine :
5. Quels sont les facteurs clés permettant de déterminer la nature et le type des compétences nécessaires pour l’avenir et en quoi le secteur de l’EFTP peut-il améliorer sa capacité à répondre à l’évolution de la demande en compétences ?

6. Dans quelle mesure l’action des établissements d’EFTP de votre pays s’appuie-t-elle sur des analyses régulières et continues des tendances sur le marché du travail et de l'évolution du secteur industriel ?

7. Quel est le rôle des partenariats publics-privés pour que la formation dispensée par les établissements réponde mieux aux besoins des employeurs et travailleurs individuels ?

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.

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.

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.

What is vocational excellence, why is it important, and how is it developed and for whom? This paper tries to: address the complexity of vocational excellence; explain the different types of centres of vocational excellence (CoVEs), which embody vocational excellence, their missions and functions; and identify good practices that work well in different contexts. The paper investigates issues such as: How can CoVEs deepen their engagement with the labour market and cooperate with other skills providers to form part of a comprehensive, inclusive, high-quality network? How can the design and development of CoVEs be linked to other elements of human capital development strategy, for example the development of lifelong learning or the emergence of smart specialisation?

A challenge for TVET programmes and careers While technical and vocational education and training (TVET) has the potential to bolster the participation of women in the labour market, this potential is not always well understood and capitalized on. In general, female students are lowly represented in TVET compared to general programmes, and in particular girls and women tend to be under-represented in the fields that require science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills and knowledge.

In addition to being required for ‘traditional’ and ‘emerging’ occupations, STEM skills and knowledge are often needed for the so-called ‘jobs of the future’, driving innovation, inclusive growth and sustainable development.

This report examines the key issues concerning girls and women’s participation and achievement in STEM-related TVET programmes and their transition STEM related careers.

The Bridging Conference on New Qualifications and Competencies in TVET of the BILT project has the overall goal of laying the foundations for the upcoming project activities through an open and participatory engagement among members of the TVET community.

This meeting revolves around the key aspects related to the identification, integration and implementation of new qualifications and competencies. It aims at discussing the relevance, applicability and prioritization of new qualifications and competencies with the global TVET community with a view on practical examples from Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific. The discussions will be underpinned by the main outcomes of the BILT Trends Mapping Study and will explore questions such as:

- What institutional arrangements are favorable for identifying the demands for new qualifications and competencies? Which mix of competencies is relevant in the BILT themes digitalization, greening, entrepreneurship and migration?
- How can relevant qualifications and competencies be integrated into curricula and training regulations? What is the relevance of cross-cutting, occupational, sectoral and modular approaches in this context?
- How are new qualifications and competencies implemented, mainly concerning adaptation of pedagogical environments and teachers and trainers training?

While the meeting is held in English, there will be remote simultaneous interpretation to and from French.

This Trends Mapping Study is part of the Bridging Innovation and Learning in TVET project. It draws on a selection of relevant literature, the data collected from the UNEVOC Network using an online survey and focus group activities, as well as on information obtained from a virtual conference hosted by the UNESCO-UNEVOC TVET Online Forum. Based on the evidence gathered, the study identifies nine trends related to New Qualifications and Competencies (NQC) in TVET, which may inform future BILT activities. Trends one to four bring insights into the identification of NQC for relevant sectors and occupations; trends five and six concern the implementation of NQC in curricula and training regulations of different occupational profiles; and trends seven to nine bear upon the implementation of NQC in teaching and training.

A framework for institutions Global developments including the transition to greener economies, the application of digital technologies in the world of work, and the COVID-19 pandemic, amongst others, are changing the way we live and work. These developments are driving technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems to improve their capacity to identify the future skills demands and to expand access to skills development opportunities.
As TVET adapts itself to the impacts of significant social, environmental, and economic disruptions, innovative practices emerge with the potential to rejuvenate the future of skills development. Schools, training centres and colleges have the potential to play a leading role to drive innovation in their local skills and innovation ecosystem.

Report on reskilling and upskilling through Formal and Vocational Education training Contrary to general education, vocational education and training (VET) has been an area of cooperation from the very beginning of the European Union. Over decades, however, the concept and reality of VET has changed substantially. VET as a dead-end educational pathway preparing exclusively for direct labour market entrance has practically faded out. The VET systems of the EU member states have become more open and have developed their access routes to higher and further education. Since 1995, common drivers for developments in VET across EU member states have included structural ones as shrinking birth-cohorts or changes in skill demands induced by new technologies and digitalisation as well as institutional ones, for instance, a new emphasis on learning outcomes or the introduction of qualification frameworks. However, common drivers have resulted in different trajectories taken by the various national VET systems, perpetuating the diversity of VET in Europe. The paper discusses long-term structural changes and recent trends within VET (such as vocational drift in education, hybridisation of general and vocational education, increasing permeability of educational pathways in initial VET) and how they might play out in the future. Given that the trends are expected to continue, it can be expected that by 2030 national qualification frameworks in most EU members states will be firmly established thereby organising a diversity of vocational qualifications ranging from EQF level 1 to 8 – including professional doctorates

Long before the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis, questions were raised about gig and platform work: are they ‘digital sweatshops’ or a conduit to skills development and better skills matching? The public health crisis may have accentuated the vulnerability of platform workers, but it also demonstrated the wider potential for working and learning digitally.

Cedefop’s CrowdLearn study is the first to examine skills development and skill matching practices in online platform work. It presents evidence from interviews with platform economy stakeholders, as well as crowdworkers themselves. It identifies the types of skills developed in such work and the learning practices of gig workers. It highlights the challenges (algorithmic management, limited platform portability) posed to efficient skills matching and crowdworker mobility and makes policy suggestions to overcome them.

These insights can provide useful directions for vocational education and training, asking what we can learn from those who mastered the art of digital working and learning long before the current crisis.
