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

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.

EU-ILO Project: Effective Governance of Labour Migration and its Skill Dimensions The European Union and its immediate neighbours have a mutual interest in cooperating, both bilaterally and regionally, in migration issues. Neighbours like Moldova and Ukraine have a pressing need to regulate emigration and immigration to support development objectives as well as current and future skills and workforce replacement. Simultaneously, current demand for migrant workers in EU member states is fuelled by labour market and skills shortages and by the effects of demographic change: low birth rates and ageing populations.

In this context, knowledge of the skills composition of migration flows of both potential outbound and returning migrants is extremely important for the design of legal labour migration schemes. Moldova and Ukraine are labour-sending countries and information on their labour market needs in different sectors and occupations is crucial for ethical recruitment and prevention of skills waste. Detailed assessment of education and training systems in Moldova and Ukraine regarding development of policies, recognition of qualifications, skills upgrades, skills certification as well as addressing both domestic and foreign conditions are essential. This Research presents an analysis of vacancies and skills needs in the European Union, in the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.

Part of the “Effective Governance of Labour Migration and its Skill Dimensions” project Moldova is a labour-sending country. Information on its labour market needs and on the skills composition of migration flows is crucial for the prevention of skills waste and brain drain. Moldova faces an increasing outflow of highly qualified people largely due to discrepancies between the professional training system and the local labour market. This research aims at providing national stakeholders with a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between education, training and labour migration in Moldova.

The general objectives of the study are:

- To measure the extent to which the education system in Moldova contributes to improving local employment opportunities, thereby diminishing the outflows, or, on the contrary, is conducive to increased migration;
- To assess the direct impact of a person’s education on migration, including propensity to migrate;
- To study the use of remittances on education by the recipient households and their impact on the demand for education;
- To present an overview of migration and education policies and related legislative frameworks.

In today’s global race we need a highly skilled workforce. Higher levels of skills help workers to become more effective: 20% of the growth in the output of UK workers can be attributed to the growth in their skill levels. Those who improve their skills are more likely to go on to further study or to progress higher in their chosen occupation. They are also more likely to have children who are more successful in school. Getting vocational and technical education system right is both socially and economically vital. ‘Rigour and Responsiveness in Skills’ sets out how to accelerate reforms into the skills system to ensure that vocational training offer allows citizens to compete with any in the world.

Vocational Education and Training (VET)1 refers to ‘learning pathways which aim to equip people with knowledge, know-how, skills and/or competences required in particular occupations or more broadly in the labour market’ for the jobs of today and tomorrow. High-quality vocational education and training systems that have a strong work-based learning element facilitate young people’s transition to work and can contribute to reducing unemployment and supporting economic development. VET is also a powerful means of empowering people to develop their full capabilities, enabling them to seize social and employment opportunities, and increasing the productivity of both workers and enterprises. Better education and training is also necessary for (although it does not guarantee) decent work and socially sustainable, fair growth.

VET and skills policies include formal, non-formal and informal vocational learning, workplace and work-based learning, and other learning opportunities in the formal and informal economies. These policies support a life-long learning approach to economic growth, and good employment and social objectives. This paper sets out the concepts that underlie the preparation of VET reforms and other VET-related projects by EU Delegations or teams within the European Commission.

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.

This paper discusses technical and vocational education and training (TVET) as well as skills development in rural areas, mainly pertaining to agriculture and related activities and explores existing gender differences. TVET has suffered from a focus on basic, and especially primary education, which led to the neglect of post-basic education and training and their non-inclusion in the UN Millennium Development Goals. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in training and skills development because of increased evidence that a minimalist approach to microfinance for poverty reduction and enterprise development did not lead to sustainable growth. The paper argues that many training interventions do not cater for the specific needs of women who are under-represented in formal training programmes and often directed towards typical female occupations. It reviews vocational and skills training in several IFAD supported programmes and explores how these target the poor and most vulnerable and to what extend gender differences in training provision, methodology, training content and transition to labour markets have been taken into account.

Skills policies and strategies

Thumbnail

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.

The Government of Trinidad and Tobago has developed a framework for sustainable development based on seven interconnected pillars as the cornerstone of this strategy. One of these pillars is to develop ‘A More Diversified, Knowledge Intensive Economy – Building on the Native Genius of the People.’ To meet this goal and, as a part of Trinidad and Tobago’s response to rapid changes in both the global and local economic environment, there is need for significant changes in the landscape of tertiary education, technical and vocational education and training, and lifelong learning. This policy paper is the culmination of the efforts of several ministerial and professional educators concerned with tertiary education and training development in Trinidad and Tobago.

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.

This publication reports the findings of the conference of the European Network of Education Councils with two perspectives. The first perspective is the one of the skills needed beyond the school and the competences required in a quickly evolving and highly competitive labour market, in a perspective of a sustainable development in professional and personal life and as citizen. This includes reflection on labour market needed competences, lifelong participation and inclusion, career management. A second perspective is on transitions from both vocational education at secondary level and higher education to the workplaces.

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.

The vocational and technical education system in Turkey includes two main dimensions: theoretical (school training) and practical (in-company training / practical training in schools). Vocational training policies and activities are mostly carried out by the MoNE within the framework of Law No. 3308, which came into force in 1986 and Law No. 4702 of 2001, which brought about changes to the system, establishing new and strong links of co-operation with industry and commerce. The present document is an overview of the education and VET system in Turkey.

Managing an innovative and potentially complex project like a Public Private Development Partnership (PPDP) provides a rich learning opportunity and environment for managers of the project. As they embark on what might be for them as leaders, and their staff, a new model of collaborative training provision in their VTC - including working with new partners (private sector), and developing new curriculum materials for their learners – VTC managers should thoughtfully consider their own learning needs. By focusing on this as a part of their work, they can enhance their own performance as managers in this context and that of the PPDP.

VTC Managers can benefit from a learning programme that supports them as they take the different steps of conceptualization and implementation of the PPDP. The management learning programme proposed in this guide should help them further develop their management competencies through formal and informal learning, through structured reflective practice, and mentoring opportunities. These are more fully described as a PPDP VTC Management Training programme in the content of this document.

Strong partnerships between government, employers and workers help ensure the relevance of training to the changing needs of enterprises and labour markets.

Young people looking for jobs are constrained by a lack of skills required in a marketplace where technology, and the skills needed to use it, is in high demand. At the same time, companies and firms expanding in developing countries remain unable to find a pool of highly-skilled labour from which to hire locally, and remain committed to importing much of their labour from the industrialised world. These structural constraints prevent people from obtaining high-paying jobs while at the same time constraining business growth in productive sectors.

The traditional approach to these problems has been government- and donor-led vocational training centres, which have sought to identify particular skills-gaps, or to identify strategic growth areas, and to bridge the gaps. Often private sector actors have been brought in to provide technical expertise. This guide introduces an innovative approach to identifying and filling skills gaps is through a Public Private Development Partnership (PPDP).
