VI. FRAMEWORK FOR RECOGNITION AND CERTIFICATION OF SKILLS

  1.  
    1. Measures should be adopted, in consultation with the social partners and using a national qualifications framework, to promote the development, implementation and financing of a transparent mechanism for the assessment, certification and recognition of skills, including prior learning and previous experience, irrespective of the countries where they were acquired and whether acquired formally or informally.
    2. Such an assessment methodology should be objective, non-discriminatory and linked to standards.
    3. The national framework should include a credible system of certification which will ensure that skills are portable and recognized across sectors, industries, enterprises and educational institutions.
  2. Special provisions should be designed to ensure recognition and certification of skills and qualifications for migrant workers.
