Vocational Education and Training Learning for Jobs Skills beyond School Israel Accession Seminar 22-23 November 2011 Deborah Roseveare
Learning for Jobs Key recommendations • Provide the right mix of skills for the labour market that: • reconciles student preferences and employer needs • balances technical skills that employers need immediately with generic, transferable skills • Reform career guidance to deliver effective advice to all students that is independent, objective and well-informed by labour market information • Ensure teachers and trainers are well-prepared and up-to-date • Make full use of good-quality workplace learning in initial VET programmes • Develop tools to engage stakeholders and promote transparency
Skills Beyond School Review of post-secondary vocational education and training (VET) Why look at postsecondary VET? • Increasing demand in technical & professional occupations (e.g. health care) • Growing demand for high level technical & professional skills from both the labour market and students • In some countries, new and growing postsecondary vocational programmes
Skills Beyond School What are the big policy challenges? • Funding and finance How the cost of provision of postsecondary VET should be distributed between student, employer and government? • Employer engagement Is the system supply or demand-driven? • Integration How is postsecondary VET connected with other levels of the education system? • Delivering quality What are the mechanisms ensuring that all students reach at least minimum requirements upon completion of their studies?
