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

TVET institutions

Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions play an important role in equipping young people to enter the world of work and in improving their employability throughout their careers. The Global KSP collects and shares information from TVET institutions on how they respond to changing labour market needs, adopt new training technologies, expand the outreach of their training, and improve the quality of their services including in the areas of governance, financing, teacher education, and industry partnerships.

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.

Melalui survei ini, diketahui bahwa perusahaan-perusahaan tidak memahami peran APINDO dalam hal pemagangan. Oleh karenanya, inisiatif APINDO melalui pengembangan jaringan pemagangan di lingkungan dunia usaha yang disebut INAN (Indonesia National Apprenticeship Network) diharapkan dapat menumbuhkan kesadaran tentang pentingnya pemagangan bagi dunia usaha. Lebih lanjut INAN diharapkan memfasilitasi dalam berbagi pengalaman praktek-praktek terbaik pemagangan, dan dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan kerangka kebijakan pemagangan nasional mendatang.

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.

OECD Conference Centre, Paris, 9 April 2014 In the context of high rates of youth unemployment and underemployment, giving youth a better start in the labour market is a key priority for countries. Consequently, at the G20 Ministerial Meeting in May 2012 in Guadalajara, it was agreed that a comprehensive strategy is needed to boost youth employment, and that quality apprenticeships, in particular, have an important role to play in promoting a smooth transition from school to productive employment. Well-designed apprenticeship systems can promote skills acquisition, facilitate the transition from school to work, improve employment opportunities and reduce school drop-out rates. This note sets out the key issues regarding apprenticeships which were presented as a background for the discussions that took place at the conference on Quality Apprenticeships held in Paris in 2014.

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.

Prepared for the third G20 Employment Working Group Meeting 23-24 July 2015, Turkey.

This paper explains why a comprehensive skills strategy is needed and offers a comprehensive and integrated framework to assess and identify where policy action is needed to improve skill systems.

The framework put forward in this paper builds on the OECD Skills Strategy (2012) as well as the G20 Training Strategy (2010) and the conceptual framework underlying the World Indicators of Skills for Employment (WISE) database which was developed for the G20 Development Working Group. Building on these initiatives, the policy framework to develop and use skills better is designed around three main areas: i) Building skills for work and life; ii) encouraging firms to invest in skills; and iii) ensuring that skills are fully used (through better activation and matching of skills). Policies in these three areas are instrumental for achieving better economic and social outcomes. In addition, broader labour market settings that enable and provide the right incentives for skill acquisition, higher skill requirements and better skills use are also essential.

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.

Lithuanian youth were hit hard by the global economic and financial crisis and, despite notable signs of progress, the unemployment rate continues to be higher than it was at the beginning of the crisis. A key priority for policy makers is to address long-standing challenges, which are manifest in a fundamental problem of poor quality of jobs, implying that many youth are trapped in low-paid, informal jobs, which prevent them from developing and fully utilising their skills and capacities.

This report provides a detailed diagnosis of the youth labour market and VET system in Lithuania from an international comparative perspective, and offers tailored recommendations to help improve school-to-work transitions. It also provides an opportunity for Lithuania to learn from the innovative measures that other countries have taken to strengthen the skills of youth and their employment outcomes, notably through the implementation of a Youth Guarantee.

Today an increasing number of citizens interact, work and trade using digital technologies. Today’s learners expect more personalisation and collaboration, and better links between formal and informal learning. Policymakers, experts and practitioners increasingly agree on the need for a major rethink of education and training systems in order to improve the responsiveness of VET systems to labour market and individual needs.

This case study aims to identify relevant policies and practices for digital and online learning (DOL) in vocational education and training (VET) in Serbia, with a focus on initial VET (IVET). The study was commissioned by the ETF with the following specific objectives: (i) gather information and analyse DOL provision in VET; and (ii) provide a set of recommendations.

This paper presents the results of a randomized controlled trial on the long-term impacts of a youth training program. The empirical analysis estimates labor market impacts six years after the training - including long-term labor market trajectories of young people - and, it is one of the first experimental long-term evaluation of a youth training program outside the US. The study was able to track a representative sample of more than 3,200 youths at the six-year follow-up.

The empirical findings document significant impacts on the formality of employment, particularly for men, and impacts for both men and women in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. The long-term analysis shows that these impacts are sustained and growing over time. There are no impacts on average employment, which is consistent with the low unemployment in countries with high informality and no unemployment insurance. Looking at the local labor market context, the analysis suggests that skills training programs work particularly well in more dynamic local contexts, where there is actual demand for the skills provided.

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.

Skills policies and strategies

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.

This document consists of a policy statement, implementation plan and supporting annexes, which consider and discuss aspects of the TVET Policy in Pakistan which aims to:

- Secure a national commitment to the importance of skills development to achieve sustained economic growth, to increase productivity and to provide opportunities for people to contribute to the economy and to their communities, particularly the country’s growing youthful population;
- Increase the number and quality of training opportunities so that in the short-term at least one million will be trained each year. By 2025, the objective is to train 20 percent of all school-leavers, in addition to up-skilling and re-skilling existing workers. Such expansion will not be achieved by the public sector alone and the active engagement of the private sector will be required;
- Introduce a national standards-based qualification, assessment and certification system;
- Design and deliver competence-based education and training programmes that concentrate on the skills required to perform jobs;
- Forge new partnerships between the public and private sectors and to encourage employers to train more directly and to contribute to the reform of public TVET provision;
- Maintain and expand the export of labour by encouraging people to obtain internationally recognised qualifications;
- Encourage linkages with the informal sector of the economy by providing people with opportunities to gain formal qualifications;
- Continue the reform and revitalisation of the public TVET sector.
