During the month of April 2024, a number of events were organised in the framework of the Council of Europe project "Enhancing employment rights in the Republic of Moldova".
A workshop on the involvement of the Ombudsperson institution, the Equality Council, trade unions, social partners and civil society organisations in the European Social Charter monitoring system was organised in Chisinau on 9 April 2024.
The workshop highlighted the importance of partnership, the direct contribution of these institutions and the shared commitment to strengthening social and economic rights in the Republic of Moldova.
Teachers and students from 8 VET institutions from different regions of the Republic of Moldova participated in a two-day training (18-19 April 2024) on how to communicate more effectively through the institution's website and social media networks and how to better promote the educational offer during the admission campaign. The focus was on attracting NEET young people and people from disadvantaged groups to vocational education and training.
On 25 April 2024, the Council of Europe brought together a range of stakeholders representing government agencies, VET institutions and enterprises at a round table aimed at improving intersectoral cooperation to increase the employment of people from vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities. Participants agreed on the need to establish a common platform to identify opportunities and possibilities to integrate vulnerable groups into appropriate vocational training, ultimately leading to their employment.
These events were organised within the framework of the Council of Europe Action Plan for the Republic of Moldova 2021-2024, and the Council of Europe project "Enhancing employment rights in the Republic of Moldova" which is co-funded by the Austrian Development Agency and the Council of Europe.
