Integrating new forms of specialist training into the education system to ensure business sustainability

Abstract

This article reflects the issue of making the process of training specialists in educational institutions more efficient in line with the real needs of the labour market. The low degree of integration of specialists into the labour market on the one hand, and the acute shortage of qualified specialists on the other, point to the existence of significant challenges in the process of training them, influenced both by poor collaboration between education and business and by the limited range of methods used in the process of training specialists. Multiple studies indicate that business representatives are increasingly interested in the development of relevant transversal competences, including "green" ones, in future specialists, which would allow a high degree of flexibility and adaptability in conditions of dynamic changes in technologies and work processes. In conclusion, educational institutions are challenged to diversify training methods and tools so as to ensure the development of the required competences at the required level. Significant support in this regard is provided to educational institutions through various programmes and projects funded by Moldova's development partners.
