Chisinau, 5 April /MOLDPRES/ - A number of 65 unemployed people from the cities of Chisinau, Balti, Cahul, Soroca, Donduseni, Rascani and Hancesti have been trained within a pilot programme on professional training at the working place.

In the beginning of a conference on the presentation of the results of the pilot programme on professional training of jobless persons at the working place, Health, Labour and Social Protection Minister Svetlana Cebotari has said that the employment of the labour force was a priority on the ministry’s agenda, given that, on the last period, a discrepancy between the demand and supply was recorded nationally and more and more unemployed people, especially young ones, were registered at the National Agency for Labour Force Employment (ANOFM).

“We are glad to present these positive results today and we want this programme to continue as efficiently as so far. To this end, after the approval of the new law on the promotion of labour force employment, we will continue this action and, at the same time, we will come up with other active measures of employment of both young people and persons with disabilities,” Cebotari noted.

The pilot programme on training at the working place was carried out at seven territorial labour force employment agencies and is meant for unqualified jobless people, especially young ones, with emphasis on disadvantaged ones. The programme’s goal is to reintegrate unemployed persons on the labour market, enhance their employment, correlate the labour market’s needs with the supply of labour force, as well as to create decent jobs.

The training at the working place is one of the actions planned within a draft new law on the promotion of the labour force employment and of the National Strategy of Labour Force Employment for 2017-2021.

ANOFM’s data shows that about 21,712 jobless people were recorded in Moldova in January-March 2018.
