Training Needs Analysis
Training Needs Analysis 2010
In November 2009, ACT/EMP Turin organized a survey on training needs among employers’ organizations all around the world. In total, 61 organizations from 58 countries replied.
The results provide a better view on priorities for training for next year. Globally, the highest priority training areas expressed by employers’ organizations regard internal aspects of EO’s management (like funding opportunities; effective services; lobbying, communication, membership strategies - including involving more SMEs, and strategic development plan). A second area where priorities expressed are among the highest concerns labour market issues (analysis and answers to labour market issues) and employment and skills policies. These priorities vary between regions: indeed, building up funding opportunities seems to be less urgent for American EOs than for African, European and Central Asian ones for example. In Asia, the top priority appears to be the improvement of EOs’ services.

The survey also aimed at assessing areas of needs where EOs’ staff proficiency was the lowest (according to the respondents). Results reveal that, in fields such as labour market issues, project design and project management, corporate social responsibility, basic macro-economics, Decent Work Country Programmes, the average level of staff proficiency is lower compared to the high interest of EOs in these areas. This reveals a need for training.
The 2010 training programme strives to reflect EOs' needs as expressed through this survey, in addition to continuous assessment among participants.
