For this reason\,\nit was decided not to wait any longer to launch the digital platform which\, as you will recall\, is the result of our meeting in Paris in 2019. \nOn February 15\, our website will finally be online thanks to a communication campaign towards our members and partners. \nAs I have already mentioned to you in the past\, your participation as a member of our association is essential to the success of this application. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Program\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presentation of the site and its possibilities\n \n 10:00\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Questions\, answers and returns\n \n 10:45\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Construction of the Tallinn 2022 agenda\n \n 11:15 URL:https://wapes.org/event/communication-network-meeting/?lang=en ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wapes.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/reunion-communication.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210921 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210922 DTSTAMP:20260604T061042 CREATED:20211126T221438Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220208T165722Z UID:249642-1632182400-1632268799@wapes.org SUMMARY:Career Development and Major Choices in the Post-Pandemic Era DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR \n \n \n \n \n \n The role of PES and forms of bilateral collaboration in the management of transnational migration\n \n \n \n \n \n 21 September 2021 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Virtual Conference organized within the framework of cooperation between the State Employment Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan\, the Turkish Employment Agency “İŞKUR” and the World Association of Public Employment ServicesHosted in Baku\, Azerbaijan \n \n \n \n \n \n The COVID-19 pandemic confinements and the resulting global recession of 2020 have resulted in a very uncertain labour market outlook and accelerated the evolution of the future working world. According to the World Economic Forum (2020) report\, 43% of companies surveyed stated they would reduce their workforce through the use of new technologies\, 41% plan to increase outsourcing of specialised tasks and only 34% plan to hire more staff as a result of this technology integration. The pandemic has brought about new concepts such as ‘re-skilling’ and ‘upskilling’. In a newly restricted labour market\, the opportunity for re-qualification and upskilling of workers is shrinking. For those workers who remain in their jobs\, 40% will have to adjust their essential skills over the next five years\, and half of all employees will be required to learn new qualifications (+4%). The public sector needs to provide more support for retraining and upgrading the skills of at-risk or relocated workers. Currently\, only 21% of companies surveyed rely on public funds for retraining and upskilling their employees. The public sector will have to deliver incentives for investment in the sectors and jobs of the future\, and provide stronger protective measures for displaced workers in career transitions\, as well as firmly tackle the long delayed improvement of education and training systems. \nThe statistics and figures reflect this rapidly changing labour market quite accurately. With the rapid advances in science and technology and the increasing competition\, the importance of skills and intellectual abilities in determining a person’s strengths and potential has become increasingly obvious. It is therefore essential to make sure that the necessary skills and qualifications are acquired not only to survive but also to further develop in this period. \nOur brain is our driving force in modern times. Thus\, by exercising our brain\, we will be prepared to face new changes. To anticipate short-term upheavals and prepare for longer-term trends\, it is necessary to acquire or improve current competences\, such as problem-solving skills (analytical thinking and innovation; complex problem-solving\, critical and analytical thinking; creativity\, originality and initiative; reasoning\, solution and ideation)\, self-control (active and strategic learning; resilience\, stress tolerance and flexibility)\, etc. \nTo understand and analyse the current labour market situation and to come up with solutions\, we will discuss and answer questions related to professional and job evolution. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Objectives\n \n \n \n \n \n 1.Understand how the Covid-19 has affected the labour market and the evolution of the professions.\n2.Tailor the labour market and career development to this emerging challenge\n3.Analyse the impact of the pandemic on career guidance services\n4.Anticipate the labour market evolution in the post pandemic phase. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Target audience\n \n \n \n \n \n WAPES Member States representatives \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Following the conference’s main theme\, the following topics will be discussed: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1.

Therefore\, in its willingness to adapt to technological developments\, digital technology has become quite naturally part of the PES activities. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has\, however\, dramatically speeded up this transformation. In response to the economic and social difficulties resulting from the various health measures urgently adopted in most countries of the world\, the necessity to maintain\, or even increase their capacity to cope with increased demand\, has forced most PES to massively resort to digital technology\, whether through the development of remote services or within their own work organisation (teleworking\, paperless document\, and information). \nIn all cases\, the use of digital technology by the PES has changed the relationship with the user and\, beyond that\, the very role of the user in this relationship; he has become an actor in the service he benefits from. Nevertheless\, the empowerment of the service user should not result in the public operator being relieved of its responsibility. Quite the contrary\, the PES’ commitment shall be enhanced in this new operating mode. \nEach PES\, whose entire value chain must become more efficient\, should\, therefore\, use an IT integrated digital information system (IS) to support the service offer while guaranteeing\, on one hand\, relationships with the user\, the employee\, the management\, and the supervisory authority\, and guaranteeing\, on the other hand\, support for all changes with the different actors. \nSo don’t forget to add this date to your diary. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Webinar Objective:\n \n \n \n \n \n Promote good practices and innovative approaches by supporting the transition of PES within the core of digital technology and use developments. \nThe detailed programme with practical information and the online registration form will be sent to you soon and will also be available on our website. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Programme\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Introduction Moderator\n \n 13:00\n \n Mr. Thierry HUORT\nMr. Mehdi KATTOU \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Opening speech\n \n 13:05\n \n Ms. Férihane KORBI BOUSSOFFARA\, Director General of l’ANETI\nMrs. Sihem AYADI; Acting Minister of the Ministry of Youth\, Sports and Professional Integration \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presentation of the speakers: Moderator\n \n 13:15\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mapping out the technological transformation in Public Employment Services\n \n 13:25\n \n Ms Zulum AVILA\, Technical Officer in Labour Market Services\nEmployment Policy Department \, OIT \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n ANETI's digital transformation in the 2030 vision\n \n 13:30\n \n Mr Miche SEBBANE\, Expert commissioned by the World Bank \, Deloitte France\nMr Fadhel BERHOUMA\, Information Systems Director \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Applying an automated tool for impact evaluation of active labour market measures – Estonian experience\n \n 14:00\n \n Ms Mari VALI\, Advisor\, Development Department\, Unemployment Insurance Fund\, Töötukassa\, Estonia \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Questions/answers conducted by moderator\n \n 14:15\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Conclusions\n \n 14:30\n \n Mr Abdelmoumine EL MADANI President of WAPES and Director General of ANAPEC \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Country: TunisiaRegion: Middle East and Arab countries \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Available documents\n \n \n \n \n \n Video presentation: The challenges of the PES in times of accelerated digital transformation\nPDF document: The challenges of PES in the era of accelerating digital transformation URL:https://wapes.org/event/the-challenges-facing-pes-as-digital-transformation-accelerates/?lang=en ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wapes.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Webinaire-WAPES.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20201126T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20201126T170000 DTSTAMP:20260604T061043 CREATED:20211126T235351Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220208T164148Z UID:249663-1606401000-1606410000@wapes.org SUMMARY:Addressing the impact of covid-19 on the labour market DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR \n \n \n \n \n \n The role of PES and forms of bilateral collaboration in the management of transnational migration\n \n \n \n \n \n November 26\, 2020 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Promoting Economic Recovery and Jobs GrowthThe Covid-19 pandemic\, which ravaged the globe throughout the first half of 2020\, still shows no sign of abating. To date\, the virus has infected over 30 million and killed more than 1 million of those. This has drastic ramifications for not only the patients and their families\, but also the global economy\, which is reeling from unprecedented demand and supply shocks. Due to decreased sales and halted operations\, many employees have been furloughed or laid off\, with little chance of finding new employment while the economy stagnates. \nWhile no economic sector has been spared by the slowdown\, the impacts are being felt particularly acutely in the tourism and manufacturing sectors\, which are especially sensitive to any changes in the global movement of goods and people. It is a huge problem for the Asia-Pacific region\, where 4 countries alone – China\, Japan\, South Korea\, and India – collectively account for over 40% of the global manufacturing output (United Nations Statistics Division\, 2018). Manufacturers in these countries are suffering as the pandemic blunts demand and holds up the supply chain. Meanwhile\, travel restrictions have hurt tourism hotspots all over the region\, which welcomed almost a quarter of the world’s tourists prior to the outbreak. Tourism-dependent nations such as Thailand and Malaysia are the most vulnerable to the sudden decline of the sector\, which is projected to contract by 60-80% this year (United Nations World Tourism Organisation\, 2020). \nAlthough the pandemic has indeed hit those in formal employment hard\, workers in the informal economy are much worse off as they lack social safety nets to protect them from a sudden loss of income. This is troubling as the informal sector employs up to 70% of workers in emerging economies (World Bank\, 2020)\, which abound in the region e.g. Vietnam\, the Philippines. Future economic growth in the region will be derailed if the livelihood of these workers is destroyed. \nAside from economic sectors\, economic experts at international development agencies such as the UN have been increasingly recognizing that certain demographics e.g. youth\, women are being disproportionately affected by the pandemic. This is partially because youth and women are overrepresented in the precarious informal economy – it is estimated that 70% of all working women (United Nations Women\, 2020) and 77% of youth are informally employed (United Nations\, 2020). It is essential to take the needs of these vulnerable groups into consideration in any economic recovery plan to ensure that gains in female labour force participation are not erased and that youth are employed gainfully in positions commensurate with their qualifications. To achieve a swift\, sustainable\, and equitable economic recovery\, we propose implementing Covid-19 economic recovery plans with a special focus on the worst-affected sectors and demographics. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The main theme of the conference is\n \n \n \n \n \n ‘Promoting Economic Recovery and Jobs Growth’. \nEconomic stimulus packages and PES to :\na.

The average OECD unemployment rate is estimated to reach 9.4% in the fourth quarter of 2020 if there is no second wave of the virus\, up from 5.3% at the end of 2019. In the case of a second outbreak\, it could reach 12.6%. A second wave could hit businesses and households even harder\, as many are still recovering from the first wave. And the recovery will not be rapid\, with unemployment remaining at 7.7% at the end of 2021\, or 8.9% if there is a second wave. \nEmployment services are playing an important role in keeping labour markets functioning during COVID-19. To fulfil this challenging role\, they need to be agile\, quickly adapt to the new situation and adjust their response frequently and flexibly to respond to unpredictable developments. Many local employment services are facing an unparalleled inflow of new jobseekers\, but cannot meet with their clients in person due to confinement restrictions. At the same time\, the number of job offers is shrinking in many sectors\, leaving employment services with fewer vacancies to propose. Some sectors\, such as medical services and agriculture are confronted with severe labour shortages. \nDigital services are a key element of the short-and medium-term response by local employment services in light of COVID-19. Those that had digital tools in place prior to the pandemic outbreak are in a better situation now: the process for benefit applications can remain unchanged and support to jobseekers via distant communication can continue without interruption. Other employment services have set-up alternatives\, such as call centres. \nThis webinar will discuss how the functioning of local employment services has changed in light of COVID-19 and what the future may look like. It will provide an opportunity to learn about the experience of employment services across regions and cities in the OECD\, while also hearing from a number of top thinkers and practitioners about threats and opportunities facing employment services going forward with a particular focus on the role and set-up of regional and local employment services. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About CFE\n \n \n \n \n \n The OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship\, SMEs\, Regions and Cities provides comparative statistics\, analysis and capacity building for local and national actors to work together to unleash the potential of entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises\, promote inclusive and sustainable regions and cities\, boost local job creation\, and support sound tourism policies. \nThis event is part of the OECD Local Development Forum.

This flexibility has largely contributed to maintaining the essential activities of public employment services in periods of confinement. \nToday\, questions are being raised about the future of telework\, its impact on organisations\, management methods\, but also more generally on the evolution of skills\, professions and the labour market (including the Gig economy). \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
