Chile: new public agency to validate workers’ professional skills

The new public human resources agency, called “Chile Valora,” will examine Chilean workers’ skill level and give them certificates matching their professional category. The goal is to certify their knowledge with an official recognition system. The certificates given to the workers aren’t similar to a university degree or a vocational or technical title since it doesn’t come from a teaching facility. Evaluation and certification systems will take account of knowledge, talents and aptitudes acquired, either via training or thanks to vocational experience. Applications may be introduced by the worker or the employer. The initiative was officially presented on January 27 by the tripartite committee composed of Labor, Economic Affairs and Education Ministers as well as of staff and employers’ representatives.
