It is interesting to study this new instrument for a variety of reasons. First, for a number of years, the ILO has been reviewing and updating its stance on labour standards, and the new Recommendation sheds light on this process. Second, the Recommendation contains a series of innovations in the area of themes and focuses in vocational training, and it is imperative to investigate exactly what these are.

Changes in the way of production and the market structures, technological innovation, new models of organization of work, changes in the roles and actions of the State regarding education and training, added to other macrosocial processes, make it imperative to rethink the objectives and action strategies of the social players in the field of education, vocational training and human resources development.
