Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Human Resources Development Convention, 1975 (No. 142) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes with interest the National Technological Institute (INATEC’s) 2002 final evaluation of February 2003, transmitted by the Government with the report received in August 2003. The Committee also refers to its comments on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Paid Educational Leave Convention, 1974 (No. 140). The Committee understands that in formulating the national employment policy (PNE), prepared by the Government and the Office in October 2002, policy guidelines were included to improve the employability of the workforce. Furthermore, in the Reinforced Strategy for Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction, measures are envisaged to promote vocational guidance and training. In view of the above, the Committee hopes that the Government will provide detailed information in its next report on the manner in which the vocational training system has been extended, including all the information required by the report form on the application of Convention No. 142.
