Article 3 of the Convention. Vocational training. The Committee notes the statistics reported by the Government regarding the number of women who have been hired by the federal Government. It also notes from the annual reports of the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) for 2011, 2012 and 2013 that many of the vacancies allotted to women and minorities were not filled due to “non-availability of qualified and suitable candidates”. For example, in the Central Superior Services in 2012, 30 of the 55 vacancies allotted for women and minorities have not been filled. The Committee notes that the Government refers to the National Skills Strategy 2009–14, under which placement and career counselling centres were established in collaboration with the private sector. It also notes the activities of the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission and of the apprenticeship training centres of the Provincial Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority. The Committee emphasizes that governments should ensure application of the principles of non-discrimination in respect of employment under the direct control of the Government, including in vocational training and placement services. The Committee requests the Government to provide more information on the measures taken to ensure that women have adequate access to vocational training and placement services in order to ensure that they can benefit from the vacancies allotted to them. The Committee also requests the Government to provide statistical information on the impact of such measures, disaggregated by sex.
