Call for Moldovan Experts (f / m / d)

About us:

involas Institut für berufliche Bildung, Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitik GmbH is a multidisciplinary company that provides academic and consultancy services in the fields of vocational education and training, career guidance and counselling, employment promotion and social inclusion at national, European and international levels.

Our portfolio ranges from applied research to planning, development and implementation of programmes and tools as well as their evaluation and optimization. involas has a strong and long-standing record in the field of development cooperation with more than 80 countries worldwide and has designed, implemented or evaluated numerous projects, mainly on behalf of GIZ, KfW, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC, and the European Commission.

About the project:

We are applying for a tender in the Republic of Moldova of Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The Youth Employment Promotion Project in the Republic of Moldova tries to support young people who are not in education, training or employment to find good jobs in Moldova by identifying employment opportunities, providing tailored counseling and qualifications, and using local outreach strategies. The employment of young NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) in Moldova faces challenges like lack of job information, poor cooperation between ministries and employers, and insufficient short-term qualifications. Additionally, there are few networks to engage NEETs in active labor policies, limiting their access to good jobs. The project focuses on six regions: Balti, Chisinau, Edinet, Orhei, Soroca, and Ungheni. The project runs from January 2024 until December 2026.
