CGS Objective

• The objective is to design an integrated LMIS and CG services for Mongolia.

• The CGS will provide the Mongolian population with information, guidance and counseling to choose an appropriate career from school to work. It will help in making the best choice of career from the range of opportunities in the Mongolian labor market.

• Both the LMI and CG systems will be designed in a user-friendly manner using the best available IT solutions to deliver the service nationally.


General Framework

General Framework for Career Guidance Services

• CGS Definition• Findings of The Inception Phase• International experience• Clients • CGS Design• CGS Training Proposals


Findings1. No comprehensive Career Guidance System

in Mongolia

2. There have been a number of initiatives to create parts of a CGS

I. UNESCO/Otto Benecke Foundation/NCFNFDE/MYDF-2003

II. MYDP/Otto Benecke Foundation/YDC, 2008

III. ILO/IPEC 2008-9 ?MED / 5 universities

IV. MSU 2008-09 ‘Student-2008, 2009’ e-books

V. www.biznetwork.mn

VI. LECO www.labornet.mn


Findings

• Urgent demand for qualified skilled professionals in mining, construction & infrastructure, directly affiliated professions, services & agriculture.

• LECO, as the central organization for implementing a CGSS needs capacity building.

• Training career guidance coaches has to be undertaken urgently, incorporating the existing first basic training project (ILO in cooperation with the Metropolitan Employment Department, 2010.)

• Information data bases have to be set up, hard copies as well as web based in a standardized form. Existing materials should be adapted. In all cases an updating and revising provision has to be defined.


Findings: Sustainability is an issue


Findings: Sustainability is an issue


CGS Definition

• OECD Definition[1]:• Career guidance refers to services and

activities designed to assist individuals of any age and at any point throughout their lives, to make education, training and occupational choices and to manage their careers.

•[1] In demand: Career Guidance in EU Neighboring Countries, Helmut Zelloth, European Training Foundation, 2009, p.9


CGS Definition (continued)

Such services can be found – in schools, universities and colleges, in training

institutions, – in public employment services, – in the workplace, – in the voluntary or community sector and– in the private sector.

• The activities may take place – on an individual or group basis – and may be face-to-face or at a distance

(including help lines & web-based services).


CGS Definition (continued)

They include

• career information provision (in print, ICT-based and other forms),

• assessment and self-assessment tools,

• counseling interviews, • career education programmes (to help individuals develop their

self-awareness, opportunity awareness and career management skills),

• taster programmes (to sample options before choosing them),

• work search programs and transition services


International Model• The European Training Foundation (ETF) when

dealing with CG Systems uses the same definition as OECD and other EU institutions

• This general description of career guidance has become the worldwide reference definition

• An ever growing number of service providers, organizations and coaches offer career guidance

• In the internet a huge number of profit oriented companies offer career guidance services.


International ModelNew Zealand, a more communication focused

view:"Career guidance provides individualized interactions to

help students move from a general understanding of life and work to a specific understanding of the life, learning and work options that are open to them.

It helps individuals or small groups to better understand themselves and their needs, confront challenges, resolves conflicts, develop new perspectives and make progress"[1]

• A national standard for CGS coaches has to established including

– Curriculum at a Mongolian university, and– A professional national association of career

guidance coaches• Priority for CGS should be given to the

secondary educational level. • Cooperation strategies for PPP activities have

to set up using comparable experience from other countries and sectors within Mongolia.
