National Workshop on Labor Market Information (LMI) Requirements for Demand-Driven Planning of TVET

Objectives

Organized by the ILO-UK Skills for Prosperity Programme in the Philippines and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the workshop aims to:

• share the international experience of analysis of demand for skilled labour;
• present the methodology and related LMI required for the analysis of demand and supply of skilled labour and their application to TVET delivery planning;
• discuss the LMI available in the Philippines and its impact on the demand-driven delivery of TVET and tertiary education;
• identify and discuss changes suggested by the international experts to enhance the LMI enabling it to effectively support the labour market demand-based TVET and tertiary planning in the Philippines.

Participants of the workshop include policy makers and administrators from TESDA, CHED, PSA, ILO, DOLE, PESO, NEDA, DILG, regional agencies and social partner organizations.

By the end of the workshop the participants should be able to understand:

• the concept of analysis of demand and supply of skilled workforce and its applicability to the TVET and tertiary education planning;
• the increased need to focus on regional labour and training markets as well as related LMI;
• the potential of the LMI available in the Philippines for an in-depth labour market analysis for advising training delivery in the regions;
• areas for alignment of the LMI in the Philippines with the needs of TVET and tertiary education;
