PREAMBLE

From the perspective of Public Administrations, continuing vocational training and the professional retraining of all public employees is an essential necessity in order to achieve its permanent objectives. of efficiency and modernisation. But today, their need is more imperative given the rapid evolution of knowledge and information technologies and communications and, with this, the requirements of the Administration to its employees. Training is an important factor in increasing the productivity of each public employee and of the organisation as a whole, which is an essential objective for achieving the competitiveness levels to which a country such as the our, within the framework of the European Union and in the dynamics of globalisation.

But also not only does training contribute to the best quality of the developed work, but it is an instrument of motivation and commitment of staff, of creation of culture and values, of personal and professional progress, and of transmission and conservation of knowledge. All these elements directly influence the best performance and are one of the distinctive signs of the most advanced and efficient organizations. In short, training is one of the best investments that can be made by any organisation and, at the same time, from the position of public employees, vocational training is undoubtedly an essential tool in the development of your professional career.

Public employees have participated in this training mode following the Administrative Agreement of 15 September 1994. Since then, three agreements have been concluded on continuing training, which are characterised by the co-responsibility of the public authorities and the involvement of the social partners in the design and implementation of continuing training. developing a management model based on social consultation and the development of sectoral and territorial joint institutions which have contributed to the increasing improvement of the system of training of public employees.

In this line, the Declaration for Social Dialogue in Public Administrations, signed on 21 September 2004 by the Trade Union Organizations CC.OO, UGT and CSI-CSIF with the Minister of Public Administration, established the desire to "promote and promote continuing training by linking it to the promotion, professional career and adaptation of professional profiles to the new needs of public administrations". More recently, this approach has been reproduced in the Government-Trade Union Agreement for the Civil Service in the Framework of Social Dialogue 2010-2012, signed on 25 September 2009 by the same Trade Union Organizations with the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government and Minister of the Presidency.

The Agreement for the period 2006-2009 extends its validity indefinitely and incorporates the efforts made and results obtained in the previous Agreements; progress is made in this direction while retaining and strengthening the more important than is the dialogue between the parties involved, using it as a fundamental tool to address the new challenges that will have to be met by the constant improvement in the provision of services to citizens, and are added new content that enriches it and gives a new approach to the continuing training of public employees, which are the result of a consensual reflection among all the sectors involved in the system. These include the following:

First, the important role that the interadministrative plans assume by being destined not only to the staff in the service of the promoter Administration, but also to the possibility of giving formation to public employees at the service of other administrations, either through a single promoter or in collaboration between several promoters, through Conventions or through the legal instrument which, in each case, is relevant.

in the second place, important mechanisms for the exchange of information, coordination and promotion of joint training plans and actions are introduced, reinforcing the implementation of complementary activities in the field of information, dissemination and promotion of participation and how many others relate to the continuing training programme in public administrations.

This new National Agreement on Continuing Training also incorporates new lines of action, including the following:

The permanent renewal of the institutions and, consequently, of the regulatory framework for vocational training, in such a way as to ensure at all times the desirable correspondence between professional qualifications and the needs of public administrations.

Promoting universal and continuous access to lifelong learning as it is an essential element in the knowledge society.

Adaptation of training offers, especially those aimed at those groups who may have greater difficulties, in order to prevent their social exclusion and to be motivating for future learning through the recognition of the competences obtained through these specific offers.

Establishment of channels of communication and participation with the competent institutions in the field of continuing training of the national and community areas.

Promote the operation of the system to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in the development of all training activities as well as the implementation of channels and possibilities for the sharing of training resources, criteria, standards and guidelines for action to support policies shared by the public administrations.

Promotion of measures, in the field of training, that tend to favor the reconciliation of family and work life in the realization of the training activities that are carried out within this Agreement.

In addition to the above, it should be noted that the Agreement was tacitly extended in 2010. Subsequently, and as a result of the negotiation between the public administrations and the signatory trade union organizations, it was considered appropriate to agree to the extension of the Agreement giving it an indefinite period, except for denunciation according to the procedure to this effect, and to introduce in its text a number of amendments in order to bring it into line with the existing institutional reality and to introduce mechanisms for improving efficiency and efficiency in relation to procedures and resources available for the achievement of the established purposes.

Among the modifications is the reference to the change in the name of the Agreement. With the express reference to the concept of Employment of Public Administrations, it is intended to introduce a terminology according to the already existing one in relation to other basic norms regulating the formation and other subjects intimately In particular, the Basic Staff Regulations of the Public Employment and, at the same time, set out in the Agreement itself a reference to the essential objective implicit in the Agreement, since the training activity will in any case be directed to the achievement of the improvement in the employment of the Public Administrations. In accordance with this new name, the expressions used to refer to the available organs and resources mentioned in the Agreement are also modified.

In this context, taking advantage of the experience acquired, incorporating new lines of action and aware of the current relevance that the continuing training has for both the Administration and the public employees, the Public Administrations and Trade Union Organisations, represented in the General Commission for Continuing Training, subscribe to this Agreement.
