Human resource for economic recovery and development

The role of ASEAN Skills Competition in enhancement of ASEAN members’ competitiveness

ILO AND ASEAN SKILLS COMPETITION

ASEAN SKILLS COMPETITION (ASC) was initiated in 1993 at the

ILO/APSDEP meeting in Japan, where it was agreed that there be a biennial skill competition among ASEAN member countries. Such competition is to promote and upgrade skills standards in the region and consequently to the

international level, which is organized on a cost-sharing basis.

To date there are 10 participating countries and 21

skill areas.

WHAT IS ASEAN SKILLS COMPETITION?

The objectives of the ASEAN Skills Competition are

1. To promote the development of quality vocational and technical and work values among the youth and skilled workers

2. To foster technical cooperation in vocational/technical education and training between member countries

3. To encourage close cooperation among government, industries, employers and workers organizations and vocational training institutions

4. ASC will pave the way for work excellence and development of high skilled workers
