People who have work experience in the fields of construction, culinary, education and ecology can validate their skills due to a pilot program of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research. The initiative is supported by the UNDP “Migration and Local Development” project, implemented in partnership with the International Organization for Migration Mission to the Republic of Moldova and with the financial support of the Government of Switzerland, IPN reports.

During the piloting stage, four validation centers were involved: the Center of Excellence in Construction, the Center of Excellence in Services and Food Processing, “Alexei Mateevici” College and College of Ecology.

People wishing to have their professional qualifications recognized must contact one of the four validation centers, depending on their area of specialization and interest, to file the necessary documents. Subsequently, after taking some tests, those people will get certificates that recognize their professional skills, says a press release of UNDP Moldova.

The piloting stage in the four validation centers will take place until the end of the first quarter of 2020. Subsequently, this mechanism will be implemented at the national level and cover other fields and professions.
