The German-Moldovan program to enhance the qualification of managers has been extended. About 250 businesspeople from Moldova have taken part in this so far. The memorandum of understanding was signed by Germany’s Ambassador in Chisinau Julia Monar and Deputy Minister of Economy and Infrastructure Vitalie Iurcu, IPN reports.
In a press release, the Embassy of Germany says that starting with 2008, the Republic of Moldova has been a partner of this international program that is implemented within the German-Moldovan bilateral cooperation, being coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy. The memorandum was signed during the “Agro-Invest Bridges” Forum that was organized by the association of graduates INVENT Moldova together with the Chamber of Trade and Industry of Moldova under the auspices of Moldova’s Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure. The event involved about 100 graduates of the program to enhance managers’ qualification.
The program is intended especially for small and medium-sized enterprises with potential for the international market. Under the motto “Fit for Partnership with Germany”, this trains managers from Asia, Eastern Europe, Northern Africa and Latin America for establishing commercial and economic cooperation relations with German companies. The Moldovan managers have been trained in the following sectors: building; food industry and agriculture; logistics and information technology.
The program is supported by the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ). The Chamber of Trade and Industry is responsible for its implementation in Moldova.
