Norms & Certification Program
The general purpose of this program is to help make Mexican business and labor more productive and competitive by supporting industries' efforts to identify measurable skill and certification standards that are competitive at the international level. With the participation of 15 industrial sectors and sub-sectors, the program will help these industrial groups to: (i) develop training programs based on competency standards,(ii) incorporate competency standards in overall operating procedures at the company and industry level and (iii) boost the capacity of industry groups to develop a standardized system of competency skills. When it is completed in three years, the project is expected to have produced: (i) methods for skills standardization for a representative group of private industries in Mexico; (ii) demonstration lessons and tools showing how standards can be incorporated into the process of recruiting, hiring, promoting, training and certifying workers; and (iii) a group of industries that have introduced skill standards into their productive processes and have expanded their investments in human resources with the introduction of such standards. Furthermore, to ensure sustainability, the project will support two interrelated lines of action: (a) development of a standardization and certification system, and (b) development of methods for identifying standards in specific industries.
