Articles 1, 2 and 5 of the Convention. Formulation and implementation of policies and programmes of vocational guidance and vocational training. Cooperation of the social partners. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to provide information about the policies and programmes of lifelong vocational guidance and training for young persons and adults, and to indicate the manner in which it ensures effective coordination between these policies and programmes, as well as between employment and the public employment services. The Committee further requested the Government to provide information on cooperation with employers’ and workers’ organizations, as well as other interested bodies, in the formulation and implementation of vocational guidance and training policies and programmes, such as the Multisector Centres of Continuing Professional Development. The Committee also requested the Government to provide information such as extracts of reports, studies, inquiries and statistical data regarding training policies and programmes. The Government reports that the State provides vocational guidance services to citizens, including unemployed persons, who: do not have a profession; have lost the ability to work in their former profession; are experiencing difficulties in choosing a profession; or cannot find an appropriate job because they lack the necessary qualifications or experience. The Government adds that it considers vocational guidance services for young persons to be one of the most important elements of human resources development. It provides specialist vocational guidance services aimed at helping young persons, including orphans and children without parental care, to choose an occupation, employment, or vocational training in accordance with their needs and those of the labour market. The Government adds that, in providing vocational guidance services, the public employment services work closely with various bodies, including juvenile affairs commissions, departments for youth affairs, social protection institutions and vocational education organizations. The Government reports that the public employment services provide vocational guidance services each year to about 2,500,000 people, more than half of whom are between the ages of 14 and 29. It indicates that special attention is paid to providing vocational guidance services to persons with disabilities. Noting that the Government has not provided a full reply to its 2016 direct request, the Committee once again requests the Government to provide additional information on the policies and programmes adopted to provide vocational guidance and vocational training throughout the life of both young persons and adults. In particular, the Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information, including statistical information disaggregated by age and sex, on the nature and content of vocational guidance services provided to persons with disabilities and the number of beneficiaries of such services. It also reiterates its request that the Government indicate the manner in which it ensures effective coordination between these policies and programmes, on the one hand, and employment and the public employment services, on the other. It requests the Government to provide information on cooperation with employers’ and workers’ organizations and other interested bodies in the formulation and implementation of vocational guidance and vocational training policies and programmes, such as in the activities of the Multisector Centres of Continuing Professional Development. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information in the form of extracts of reports, studies and inquiries, and statistical data regarding vocational training policies and programmes.
