Developing Training to Meet the Needs of the Labour Market
COURSE DESCRIPTIONTechnical and vocational education and training
(TVET) institutions play an important role, both in preparing youths for their
first job, and in equipping them with additional tools throughout their
careers. Unfortunately, many TVET institutions fail to effectively engage
employers and other private or public sector stakeholders when developing their
training courses. As a result, much of the training developed does not actually
meet the needs of the local labour market. This has a dual negative effect, as
employers cannot find the skilled workers they need, and young graduates are
frustrated that they cannot find work. This course thus explores effective ways in which TVET
institutions can leverage the expertise of employers and other local
stakeholders such as government institutions, trade unions, or even former
students to ensure that their training courses actually help their graduates
find work. It begins by laying out the importance of performing a labour market
analysis in order to determine the actual needs of the local labour market,
even before beginning the process of course design. Then, it presents
strategies to efficiently involve employers and other stakeholders in the
course development process, without creating undue time burdens for them.
Finally, it details ways of keeping employers and other stakeholders involved
throughout a course's delivery, whether through guest lectures, site visits,
internship offers, or other measures.
