Skilled

Workers

Priority Integration Sectors: Each PIS has a roadmap, which combines specific initiatives of the sector and the broad initiatives that cut across all sectors

PIS Goods Sectors 1. Agro-based goods 2. Automotive products 3. Electronics and electrical goods 4. Fisheries 5. Rubber-based goods 6. Textiles and clothing 7. Wood-based products

PIS Services Sectors

1. Air transport 2. E-ASEAN 3. Health care services 4. Logistics services 5. Tourism

WHAT AEC MEANS BY “FREE FLOW OF SERVICES”  Recognition of professional qualifications by

recognizing mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs)  Negotiation of some specific services sectors

Free Flow of Services Provides for greater mobility of ASEAN professionals to provide their services in the region Seven MRAs concluded (c/o PRC): 1.Engineering Services 2.Nursing Services 3.Architectural Services 4.Framework Arrangement for the Mutual Recognition of Surveying Qualifications 5.Medical Practitioners 6.Dental Practitioners 7.Framework on Accountancy Services

The ASEAN MRA for Tourism Professionals was signed by the member-states of the ASEAN on January 6, 2009 in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Mutual Recognition Arrangements are arrangements between two or more parties to mutually recognise or accept some or all aspects of one another’s conformity with assessment results. (in our case tourism certificates and qualifications).

1)

To facilitate mobility of Tourism Professionals/Workers;

2)

To exchange information on best practices in competencybased education and training for Tourism Professionals; and

3)

To provide opportunities for cooperation and capacity building across ASEAN member countries

 Free flow of trade

 Market access  Competition and innovation  Reduced compliance costs  Good practice and cooperation  Discipline in standards

 He/she may be eligible to work in a host country provided that

ASEAN Common Competency Standards for Tourism Professionals (ACCSTP)

Are arranged as sets of competencies required by qualified professionals who seek to work in various divisions of labour that are common across various sectors of tourism in ASEAN member countries.

Globalization through the ASEAN Constructors Federation

 Established on May 30, 1985

 ACF is an alliance of the constructors associations of the ASEAN nations with current membership: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Indonesian Contractors Association (ICA) Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM) Philippine Constructors Association (PCA) Singapore Contractors Association, Ltd. (SCAL) Thai Contractors Association (TCA) and

6.

Vietnam Association of Construction Contractors (VACC).

ACF Construction Standards Trade Skills Training (ACSTST) Program

Overall Objective: To promote harmonization of construction skills standards across ASEAN countries to increase productivity and value creation of

their respective workforce

What will be harmonized ? ACF Construction Standards Trade Skills Training (ACSTST) Program

 Competency standards – refers to the list of skills/competencies available to the individual for his education and training  Training standards – set to provide the instructors with the information and other important requirements to consider when designing training programs for a specific competency standard  Assessment/certification arrangements – created to verify and validate the competencies of the trainees through a hands- on and written assessment; demonstrating the competencies they have learned in the Training Standards Source: ACSTST Technical Working Group Study on Harmonization of Trades Skills Systems Formworks and Steel Reinforcement, Oct 2011

The ACSTST Committee has agreed that there will be ten (10) priority trade skills across ACF

member countries to be harmonized:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Steel Reinforcement Work Systems Formwork (combined Metal and Timber Formwork) Plastering Tile Setting Brick Laying Concrete Block Laying Structural Steel Work Welding Lifting Equipment Heavy Equipment / Earthwork Equipment

Where does technical education and training fit in?

Scenarios  Greater mobility of people: ‘semi-skilled’ type  Key to mobility: proof of qualification  Implications:  Influence the MRAs to sectors (eg tourism professionals)  Perform key role in regional standard setting  Advocacy: with chambers, sectors where Philippine ‘labor’

has advantage

Imperatives on TESDA  Influence agenda setting – regional standards for ‘skills’  Partner with chambers to advocate for MRA:

construction, tourism  International Benchmarking on standards  Demand for labor from investments, short term  Mobility of ‘semi-skilled’ ; longer term
