title:

Identify good training practice. Why it is important: With its access to constituents, its strong role in policy dialogue, and its presence in every corner of the world, the ILO is in a unique position to identify good practice and scale-up successful training activities, coupled with the development of quality resources (e.g. studies, policy-briefs and tools), whether related to capacity building of direct beneficiaries, or skills development of ultimate beneficiaries. What SKILL-UP has achieved: The 25 capacity building activities and 15 trainings / RPL activities for ultimate beneficiaries produced learning for the immediate application context. With the Service Tracker, a potentially powerful tool is being developed to systematically assess trainings. Yet the potential of the tracker – or more conventional methods – have not yet been leveraged, and good practice and success factors were not identified systematically across the programme. Recommendation: Develop and implement a concept on how to identify good training practice. For instance, similar interventions might need to be applied in different contexts, or different interventions in similar contexts. The evidence produced needs to be comparable. This requires a strengthening of key mechanisms such as finalising the tracker technically to this end, and conceptualising the tool to support this learning process (e.g. how can trainings be compared, given different content, participants, labour markets? Does information on the status before the training need to be included to learn about the effect or does benchmarking among trainings suffice?).

action_plan:

The Service Tracker, a tool for tracing beneficiaries has been piloted and will be put on service in the coming months. A PCM tool to support and help project managers to improve project interventions, including trainings, is being finalised. Those tools will systematically assess trainings, identifying good practices and success factors. The challenge is to manage to have evidence produced that is comparable. Both tools are looking into how trainings can be compared, given different content, participants

comments:

Good training practices identified with both tools will then be put at the service of all countries to improve programme interventions.
