interest from registered professionals in seeking employment on an industryapprovedcontract in another AMS.5.5.2 ATPRS EthosATPRS will be established to provide affordable access, (equitable) to meet theneeds of suitably qualified job-seekers irrespective of where they live in the ASEANregion. It will be a well-defined reference mechanism, linked to the standards ofthe ACCSTP Framework. Most importantly, ATPRS will be managed in anenvironment conducive to the MRA goals and in a competent manner that wouldengender confidence in its operation and potential outcomes.5.5.3 ATPRS DesignThe MRA mechanism must be technologically current and sustainable, with a webbasedregistration system suitable to enable eligible applicants to lodge a formalexpression of interest in seeking work in a relevant industry sector and in a foreignASEAN member country. The design would:It would allow for applications to be registered through multiple portals ineach Member State and thus access would not be limited to only one or twolocations in each country;The initiative of applying to become a registered job-seeker would notimpose a heavy cost burden on those the system is most designed to serveand with a minimal capacity to pay;The basis of operation would remain “industry-driven”, (because employerswould still be the ones responsible and authorised to initiate proceedings)but with a much clearer emphasis on the qualifications of the job-seeker itdelivers a more equitable system;With appropriate accessibility, the ATPRS would have additional potential toassist qualified job-seekers in more rural areas to seek skilled employmentin a safe local environment;Through wider accessibility, the ATPRS would have additional potential toassist qualified women to seek out appropriate skilled employment in a safelocal environment.5.5.4 ATPRS FeaturesThe ATPRS is still under development and will be launched in readiness for the MRAin 2015 with the following features:A regional mechanism and a central feature of the MRA support system.A web-based database facility.A system that operates in real time.Accessible to licensed users only. This would apply equally to inputs of datafrom qualified applicants as well as for access by job placement agencies,companies and industry employer organisations.P a g e | 46
Equipped to maintain a profile of appropriate users, to be developed forlicensing to protect the system from risks of malpractice in the early phaseof operation.Owned by the ATPMC Regional Secretariat with the day-to-day management,maintenance and operation out-sourced to an appropriate IT servicesprovider.5.6 Monitoring and ReportingThe monitoring of the MRA will be through monthly reports from the ATPRS. TheATPRS database should facilitate generation of monthly reports automatically asrequired by the ATPMC. The data should support the evaluation of the MRAoperation through the following reports:Volume of registrations on the ATPRS;Timings/seasonality of registrations on the ATPRS;Types of qualifications registered on the ATPRS;The nationality, gender and other characteristics of registrations, andOther variables as required by AMS and the ATPMC.Through these reports, both the ATPMC and Member States (via the NTPBs) will beable to review the effectiveness of the MRA according to its established objective.5.6.1 Reporting ResponsibilitiesThe automatic monthly reporting procedures from the ATPRS will be agreed withvariables determined in consultation with Member States and the ATPMC.1. The ATPMC should monitor the reports on a six monthly basis.2. The NTPB in each AMS should monitor the data for their own AMS on aquarterly basis and report concerns to the ATPMC, and3. ATPMC should report on their monitoring findings annually to the NTOs.Whilst the monitoring and evaluation of the MRA would initially be based on datadrawn from the ATPRS, there will be other data available at both national andinternational levels that relates to the tourism labour market in ASEAN. This couldbe used to supplement material from the ATPRS and would also allow for themonitoring of movements into and out of the ASEAN region and provide a broadercontextual setting for the ATPRS data.5.7 Challenges to MRA SustainabilityThe design of the MRA for Tourism Professionals is dependent upon three entitiesthat will require the commitment of experienced personnel – the ATPMC (aregional committee) and the NTPB and TPCB bodies (both national bodies).P a g e | 47
