Orientación vocacional y fortalecimiento de habilidades transversales a víctimas del conflicto armado interno en Colombia

The project consists of cooperation and technical assistance from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture to the actions of the Ministry of Labour (MINTRABAJO) in the development of a strategy aimed at vocational guidance and strengthening the skills of young people who have been victims of the armed conflict and who are in the process of compensation in order to facilitate their transition to training processes, and/or income generation under the terms of Article 3 of Law 1448 of 2011. The Ministry of Labour requires support in the technical structuring and implementation of a strategy that proposes the implementation of four lines of development, which will enable the victims of the armed conflict who access the project to equalize their opportunities with those of the country's population in general, as well as being in a better position to access and remain in the labour market under decent working conditions. To this end, the development of mechanisms involving a set of services will be promoted so that 650 beneficiaries from different regions of the country can have access to vocational guidance processes - occupational profiling, identification of aptitudes and attitudes, identification and consolidation of life vocation -, as well as to develop transversal and soft skills, such as assertive communication, continuous learning, preparation of tools to be incorporated into a job, which will allow them to be inserted into the job or generate entrepreneurial initiatives in the formal economy.
