The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments initially made in 2013.
Repetition
The Committee takes note of the Government’s report for the period ending on 31 December 2012 and of its reply to the direct request of 2008. The Committee notes with interest that, since 2008, French Polynesia has been developing and gradually structuring its system of occupational certification in cooperation with the social partners. It also notes that Books III and IV and Part VI of the Labour Code of 2011 establishes the principle of vocational training and the recognition of prior experience. It further notes that the Order of 10 April 2013 amending the Order of 22 February 2008 allows state recognition of occupational qualifications acquired and delivered in French Polynesia, with close alignment of the latter with those of the Ministry of Employment in France. As regards the quality of the teaching staff of the Adult Training Centre (CFPA), the Committee notes that the Centre follows the annual plan for the training of technical personnel in cooperation with the National Association for Adult Training (AFPA), the aim being to improve the quality of the teaching provided and to obtain nationwide recognition of the qualifications delivered to the recipients of training in the country. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information on the efforts made to improve the quality of the training provided by the CFPA and on the impact and results of the training in terms of securing employment and upgrading of skills, particularly for young people.
Activities of the CFPA. The Committee notes that the main group of jobseekers in Tahiti consists of persons with no training or qualifications and with little experience, who are turning in large numbers towards vocational training with a view to finding lasting employment. Many jobseekers who have experience, or even qualifications, see vocational training as an opportunity and as a remedy for their unemployment. In 2012, the new training activities did not reach the islands, except, marginally, for Moorea, Raiatea and Nuku Hiva. The Committee once again invites the Government to provide information on the measures taken or envisaged to reduce the inequalities in vocational qualifications and the integration of young persons that exist between Tahiti and the remote islands.
