| Summary: | Moldova, like many other countries in
the region, is facing rapid economic and demographic
transitions. Employers report that inadequate levels of
workforce skills hamper their productivity. Recognizing the
importance of workforce development to improve the country’s
socioeconomic prospects, the Government of Moldova approved
the educational development strategies for 2013-2020. The
main objectives are to improve the quality of education and
training system and better match its outcome with the labor
market needs. In particular, information on short-term
training providers, including their characteristics,
practices, and outcomes, are not available. Given this lack
of information and the government’s strong interest in
better understanding specifically the provision of
short-term training providers, the World Bank launched the
Training Assessment Project (TAP) to identify the landscape
and characteristics of these institutions and assess the
extent to which they follow practices that are conducive to
improved service delivery. TAP collects data on the outcomes
of training institutions as an indicator of their
performance. To get an accurate picture of the
characteristics, actions, values, and outcomes of training
providers, TAP uses two types of data collection instruments
- a questionnaire for training institutions and
complementary focus group guides to gather qualitative data
on the same topic matters from students, graduates, and
employers. This report will present findings from the data
collected on short-term training providers in Moldova in
2017-2018. The report intends to inform both short-term
training providers and the state entities responsible for
the governance of these institutions. |
