Convention (n° 142) sur la mise en valeur des ressources humaines, 1975 - Ukraine (Ratification: 1979)

Articles 1 and 5 of the Convention. Implementation of education and training policies and programmes. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2013 which includes detailed information in reply to the 2009 observation. The Government indicates that the Action Plan for implementing the programme for the public occupational guidance system, adopted in 2010 and amended in 2012, consists of actions to prevent unemployment and create conditions for professional self-realization of young people, dismissed workers, older workers, persons with disabilities and other groups. Occupational guidance measures are included in all the territorial public employment programmes and regional occupational guidance programmes have also been adopted. In 2009, the State Employment Service provided occupational guidance services to over 3.5 million people, close to 4 million in 2010, and over 4 million in both 2011 and 2012. In 2009, over 1.13 million young people studying in various types of educational institutions were recipients of occupational guidance services, increasing to over 1.6 million in 2012. Moreover, in the period from 2009–12, the State Employment Service placed a total of close to 800,000 people in occupational training activities. The Committee notes from the figures provided that over 80 per cent of participants in occupational training activities obtained employment following training. The State Employment Service collaborates closely with employers’ organizations. Employers looking to hire workers take part in determining the content of the training and qualification attestation of the unemployed, and provide work places for on-the-job training and internships. The Government reports that over 40 per cent of unemployed people have undergone occupational training at enterprises, institutions and organizations. For young jobseekers who apply to the State Employment Service after finishing programmes in educational institutions, further training and internships are provided, which is particularly important for school-leavers and recent graduates lacking practical work experience. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information on the policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training, including information on their implementation and outcomes. It also invites the Government to continue to provide information on the cooperation of employers’ and workers’ organizations and other interested bodies in the formulation and implementation of vocational guidance and vocational training policies and programmes. Please also include extracts from reports, studies and inquiries and statistical data relating to the matters covered by the Convention (Part VI of the report form).
