Implementation of policies and programmes of vocational guidance and training. The Committee notes the report received in September 2008 which includes appendices and information on the objectives laid down in the “Social agenda for equity and quality in social services”. The Government indicates that in 2007, a total of 2,936 training courses were provided for 39,071 participants. In addition, 83,900 participants from vulnerable categories of workers were trained by means of 4,252 courses. Provision has been made for the establishment of a new National Vocational Training System, using parameters relating to territorial equity and analysis of inadequacies in training facilities for the most vulnerable in relation to the design of courses geared to their needs. The Committee refers to its observation of 2008 on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), in which it noted the intention to link the supply of labour training to the National Plan for Economic Inclusion. The Committee hopes that, at its next examination of the application of Convention No. 142, updated information will be available illustrating the way in which the vocational guidance system has been expanded and effective coordination has been ensured between the initiatives to provide vocational guidance and training and employment policy objectives, taking account of the factors mentioned in Article 1(2)–(4) of Convention No. 142. The Committee requests the Government to continue sending copies of reports, studies and surveys, statistical data, etc., on policies and programmes intended to promote access to education, training and lifelong learning for people with special needs, such as young persons, low-skilled people, people with disabilities, migrants, older workers, indigenous people, ethnic minority groups and the socially excluded, and also for workers in small and medium-sized enterprises in the informal economy, in the rural sector and in self-employment (Paragraph 5(h) of the Human Resources Development Recommendation, 2004 (No. 195)).
