Office Assistant of SYSLAB Centre in Balti: Innovative Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Employment (SYSLAB) - Chisinau

The development of human capital is viewed as a prerequisite for an inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Moreover, it is increasingly seen at the cornerstone for both advanced and emerging economies seeking to speed up economic development and address the challenges posed by the global economic crisis.
From the development perspective, the labor plays critical role for Moldova’s socio-economic modernization, as it is one of the few resources available in the country. However, long hailed as a country with abundant labor resources, Moldova has increasingly found that labor (mostly as quality, but also quantity) has become its major development constraint , with Moldova’s labor endowment suffering considerably in the last two decades. The prospects for the quantity of labor force available in the future are not necessarily brighter given continuous outward migration and dire demographic outlook.
This loss in the labor force was only partly offset by the improvements in the labor productivity, which remained the lowest in the CEE and Western CIS region . Capital and skill endowments are amongst chief determinants of the labor productivity . In their turn, the skill endowment is largely dependent not only on the quality of the country’s education system, but also on training programs provided by various institutions.
The Innovative Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Employment Project was designed to establish career centers in four most important regions of Moldova with the goal to train and assist qualified unemployed and graduates in obtaining relevant employment in Moldova, preventing brain-waste, as well as brain-drain, and supporting economic growth of the country. SYSLAB training centers were already established in Chisinau, Rezina and Cahul. Two further centers will be opened in Balti and Comrat.
For the training Centre to be established in Balti, one head of the Centre, one  career advisor and assistant will be hired to manage and coordinate Centre’s activities.   

FOCUS OF THE SYSLAB PROJECT
The Project is designed to establish career centers in four most important regions of Moldova with the goal to train and assist qualified unemployed and graduates in obtaining relevant employment in Moldova, preventing brain-waste, as well as brain-drain, and supporting economic growth. One training center was already established in Chisinau and Rezina. Two more centers will be established in the regions.

The Project will achieve the following objectives:

Provide new technologies to labor market authorities;Provide motivated labor force to private and public sectors;Give graduates a better chance for relevant employment in Moldova;Give unemployed improved employability.

Overall, the project shall contribute to the development, adaptation and implementation of new tools (technology and methods) for career development, job search and entrepreneurship in Moldova.
The Career Centers will focus on:

new graduates, in order to prevent them from unemployment and to create job opportunities, and hence reduce/prevent brain-drain;unemployed irrespective of age, gender, ethnic background or education or work experience;returning migrants.

In achieving the project goals, the gender balance aspect will be taken into consideration, offering equal opportunities to both women and men to benefit from the Centers’ services.
The center to be established in Balti will have 3 people as permanent staff. The center will focus on highly qualified unemployed, young graduates and returning migrants. It will offer a classic SYSLAB Center, entrepreneurship training, job-seeking courses and individual career guidance.
Estimated number of annual beneficiaries for Balti center:
