How is the Human Talent strategy developed in PROCOMER?
PROCOMER’s Human Talent Strategy plays a crucial role in the growth and development of exporting companies and in attracting foreign investment to the country by conducting prospecting studies and creating human talent training programs through strategic partnerships with different training centers, organizations, and institutions, both public and private, to train and empower highly qualified professionals who meet the demand of companies, generating a positive impact on the country’s economic development by linking them to job opportunities.
This strategy is based on three main pillars: Prospecting and Demand, Human Talent Development in Definitive Regime companies, and Human Talent Development in Free Zone companies.
Prospecting and Demand Studies: Conducting forward-looking studies and analyses on a national and global scale to predict labor market needs and pinpoint the competencies and skills necessary for the future. This paves the way for the creation of human talent development programs that guarantee a prompt response to job requirements, both within foreign trade companies and in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the country.
HUMAN TALENT DEVELOPMENT IN COMPANIES UNDER DEFINITIVE REGIME Trough the implementation of training programs in Human Talent Development, aimed at companies under the Definitive Regime, we help them generate improvements in their productivity, talent retention, adaptation to changes and new technologies, allowing them to remain competitive in the international market.
HUMAN TALENT TRAINING IN COMPANIES UNDER FREE TRADE ZONE AND FDI REGIME In order to maintain the growth of the Free Trade Zone sector and the companies with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Human Talent programs are being developed in high-demand areas by multinational companies, which also allow for the employment opportunities brought by FDI.
Training in technical competencies and essential skills or ‘power skills’ for employability.
Alignment of the business sector with the country’s educational ecosystem.
Professional training for integrating the labor market.
Human talent training through reskilling and upskilling processes.
PROCOMER is part of ENETH-CR (NATIONAL EMPLOYABILITY AND HUMAN TALENT STRATEGY)
PROCOMER has actively collaborated in the construction and implementation of strategic actions and key activities of the ENETH-CR (2023-2027). It was developed using a participatory methodology and social dialogue, which took place in four phases: a) elaboration of the Situational Analysis, b) definition of strategic interventions to be implemented and analysis of their viability, c) development of an action plan, financing, and governance structure, and d) approval and formalization by the Employment Council (CE) and the Technical Secretariat of the National Employment System (ST-SNE).
This strategy has an Action Plan Matrix with corresponding actions, indicators, goals, responsible parties, and available resources for the period 2023 to 2027. It is structured into six components or intervention axes, which correspond to the main challenges or bottlenecks identified in the diagnosis or situational analysis to improve human talent employability.
