Book excerpt: This document is the result of the analysis of reports and the conduct of interviews with representatives of the social partners (employers, employers' organizations, and unions), education and training agencies, and other relevant agencies in Ireland. The document consists of four parts and a bibliography. The first part describes vocational education and training within the context of human resource policy and explains the involvement of social partners generally in economic and social matters. Part two addresses statutory provisions for vocational education and training and the involvement of the social partners. Part three describes training and education in the construction industry, the textile industry, and hotel catering and tourism industries. Part four reviews key issues and makes recommendations. Among the recommendations are the following: the social partners be formally represented on vocational education committees; educational authorities in conjunction with the social partners investigate the means by which local links can be consolidated and further strengthened; and questions of certification and the establishment of training standards be investigated within the context of increasing mobility of labor within the European Economic Community and the completion of the market in 1992. A bibliography of 116 items concludes the document. (CML)

This book was released on 1987 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document studies the role of unions, management, and education agencies (the social partners) in vocational education and training in the United Kingdom. Through an analysis of existing and historical structures governing cooperation and coordination between the social partners and the public bodies responsible for vocational education and training, an in-depth investigation was carried out and proposals for improved dialogue at various levels were made. This report is organized in six sections. Section 1 is a general introduction to the study, and Section 2 presents an overview of developments in negotiations between the social partners at the national level. The next three sections examine individual sectors of the economy: retraining and conversion in the engineering sector, initial training (the Youth Training Scheme) in the construction sector, and women in the labor market (banking and finance sector). The final section summarizes the numerous findings of the studies and presents some recommendations for the future. A 97-item bibliography and list of abbreviations are appended. (KC)
Download or read book Social Competences in Vocational and Continuing Education written by Antony Lindgren and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social competences have played a crucial role in the international search for generic, over-arching skills, key qualifications and core competences since the 1970s. By the end of 1990, social cohesion and integration had gained new momentum in this discourse because of their importance for the functioning of global market economy and industries. Moreover, the concept of social capital affects and changes the role of social competences in vocational and continuing education. This volume presents a collection of papers which reflect and describe these changes and their political, economical and pedagogical backgrounds and implications. The topics include economisation of social competences, social competences as key qualifications for employability and entrepreneurship, social challenges in eroding welfare societies, gender and social competences, and the ideological and economical context of the social competences discourse.

Download or read book Employee Relations in the Periphery of Europe written by E. O'Hagan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-09-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the manner in which the EU affects employee relations systems in economically peripheral European countries, specifically Ireland and Hungary. It asks whether the EU offers peripheral countries the opportunity to modernise their industrial relations. The EU dynamically promotes core-like employee practices, and national actors energetically attempt to implement the prescribed initiatives, yet little success has been achieved in modernising production techniques in peripheral economies. O'Hagan argues that the EU implements an unofficial development policy which it pressurises States to adopt. These initiatives amount to the frequently referred to European Social Model (ESM), which, she argues, can cause difficulty for policy makers because it is ill-defined, vague and contradictory.

Download or read book The Social Dialogue in the Member States of the European Community in the Field of Vocational Training and Continuing Training written by Burkart Sellin and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document describes the current links between the world of work (employees, employers, industrial sectors, and companies) and the world of vocational training (in-company, inter-company, and school-based training bodies) in member states of the European Community; and the degree and nature of the involvement of the social partners in the development, implementation, administration, and control of training programs, including the scale and nature of state intervention. The industries in which these relationships were studied were the construction, metal working, electronics, insurance, and banking industries. The following research questions were among those addressed: (1) Why is it important to increase the participation of the social partners in decision making?; (2) Under what conditions can such participation be a positive contribution?; and (3) What are the major obstacles to greater participation? Following an introduction, the second chapter describes the current situation against a background of social, economic, and technological changes. The third chapter analyzes the situation in member states, including the participation of workers in their organizations; their participation at local, regional, and national levels; the participation of sector-specific organizations; the various forms of social dialogue; the role of the state in the social dialogue; the autonomy of the organizations of social partners; vocational training as a subject of the social dialogue; and preliminary results from the analysis. The fourth chapter takes up problems and prospects of developing the social dialogue. A 15-item bibliography concludes the document. (CML)
