Vulnerable youth, digital skills and vocational training in Latin America
This document is part of the research agendas of both the ILO Regional Office and ILO/Cinterfor on digital skills, vocational training and the labour market integration of young people, particularly those in vulnerable conditions.
It aims to contribute to generating knowledge and practical inputs for reflection and action on the design of training policies so that young people can access labour markets in which these digital skills are increasingly relevant with greater chances of success.
The fieldwork of this study focused on analysing the experiences of six institutions that make up the ILO/Cinterfor network of vocational training institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean: the Paula Souza Centre (CPS) in Brazil; the National Training and Employment Service (SENCE) in Chile; the National Learning Service (SENA) in Colombia; the Technical Institute for Training and Productivity (INTECAP) in Guatemala; the National Institute for Technical Vocational Training (INFOTEP) in the Dominican Republic; and the National Institute for Employment and Vocational Training (INEFOP) in Uruguay.
The publication features empirical findings and theoretical reflections, as well as recommendations for public policy on vocational training and labour markets. It also outlines initiatives for institutional strengthening of skills providers in the region.
