action_plan:

The Project is preparing enhanced TVET curriculum in Myanmar, Uruguay and Viet Nam and has posted OSH awareness materials online to capacitate young workers who seek to engage meaningfully on OSH prevention, and has finalized a package of OSH awareness materials for young workers in multiple sectors. All of these are adaptable to multiple countries. The Project also published an OSH Technical Brief and Action Plan in April 2018 to increase awareness and to foster action on OSH for youth. The work of the Project in highlighting the issue of young worker vulnerability during the 2017 OSH World Congress led Canada, the next World Congress host, to request that the ILO present another SafeYouth@Work Congress in Toronto in 2020. The Project also drove linkages between 2018 World Day on Safety and Health at Work and 2018 World Day for Child Labor, to clarify that actions to address OSH for young workers can also reduce the global number of children in hazardous child labour, and vice versa. The work of the Project has led Indonesia and Argentina to formally engage with young workers including the implementation of a national OSH action plan for young workers and by including young workers at the table for meetings of the national OSH tripartite council.

title:

Develop standard training packages for young workers in targeted sectors as well as materials for awareness campaigns, which can be used across countries. The development of training packages and materials for awareness campaigns should be based on market research and commitments from implementing partners as noted above. With respect to training packages, the development effort should be undertaken by SY@W global and begin with a thorough review of training curricula that have already been developed by ILO and other organizations, including the national OSH centers in selected countries. Training packages should be built around stand-alone modules (2-4 hours), which address one particular topic. Each module should specify the particular topic covered, define expected learning outcomes in terms of competencies (aligned with NQF), and include a detailed lesson plan along with key text, audio-visual materials, exercises, case studies, handouts, and competency exams. The language should be geared to the educational level of the target audience; cartoons and/or videos should be used to foster greater engagement. Each module should also be accompanied by a set of instructional notes for trainers. The standard modules would require adaptation to account for different laws and/or cultural context across countries. With respect to elements of awareness campaigns done at the global level, consideration should be given to devoting resources to the production of high quality videos and the development of professionally managed social media campaigns. The decision on whether to undertake these activities depends, in part, on plans for the OSH-GAP Flagship program.
