In light of this change, the Committee requests detailed information on how the Government ensures that the policies and programmes of vocational guidance and training are closely linked to employment, as required under Article 1 of the Convention.
3. The Committee also notes the role of the National Vocational Training Council (NVTC) in making proposals and recommendations concerning relevant legislation and courses offered. It asks the Government to provide further information on the composition of the NVTC, in particular whether representatives of workers' and employers' organizations and other interested bodies are included, or what other institutions exist to ensure that policies and programmes of vocational guidance and training are formulated and implemented in cooperation with these groups, as required under Article 5.
