UNESCO-UNEVOC’S PERSPECTIVE Workforce development (Skills) is

linked to the “Four Pillars of Learning”

• Learning to Know - knowledge

• Learning to Do – practical skills

• Learning to Be – self-confidence

• Learning to Live Together – inter-personal

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

Three Domains of Learning:• Cognitive – mental, interpretation, evaluation

• Psychomotor – physical dexterity

• Affective – behavioural, self, emotional

CPA = KSA (TVET): comprises these three distinct

yet integrated components, best developed, nurtured

and mastered within an OJT setting

GLOBAL OUTLOOK ON SKILLS

Hay’s Global Skills Index 2014:

• Skills Gap >> Global Talent Crisis• Recruitment challenges (STEM)

skills• “Perfect Talent Storm”• Averting this LM crisis - OJT/PLAR
