CMTU/AFCYD Training of Facilitators on Rights@Work for Youth
The Confederation of Mongolian Trade Unions (CMTU) and the Authority for Family, Child and Youth Development are jointly organizing this training workshop with the support of the EU Funded project “Support GSP+ Beneficiary Countries to Effectively Implement ILS and Comply with Reporting Obligations – Mongolia” (MNG/16/50/EUR). It aims at training young facilitators to design and deliver learning sessions on rights at work for young workers.
The National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia reports in 2017 that youth are vulnerable to unpaid apprenticeship, long working hours, no employment contract, high degree of harassment, and unfair dismissal. In order to address these issues at work, different public and civil society organizations have committed to join their forces by building a network to promote rights at work for youth through increased awareness and reach out to young workers. Training of facilitators on rights@work Based on the ILO Rights@Work for Youth: Facilitator’s guide and toolkit, the training is to train facilitators to further promote and help youth, who are about to enter, or have recently entered the labour market, learn about their rights.

Overview of labour market trends for young people, decent work and fundamental principles and rights at work;
Key features of employment contracts;
Social security systems;
Conditions of work (e.g. wages, hours of work, leave,);
Occupational safety and health issues, the identification of hazards in the workplace and measures to minimize risks;
Practical advice to young workers to help them manage conflict in the workplace and negotiate decent conditions of work.
