Skills for smart specialisation in Moldova: Understanding and managing skills as a key resource for growth and competitiveness

This report presents findings from an assessment of the implication of skills in Moldova’s smart specialisation strategy. The ETF’s role is to support Moldova as it endeavours to give vocational education and training systems a clear role in the implementation of its smart specialisation strategy. The report explores skills data at sub-sectoral level in the context of an evolving labour market, in order to improve competitivity and foster innovation. Two priority areas are covered: renewable energy development and food processing. From the results, it is possible to claim that smart specialisation in the energy sector requires investment in high-skilled workers, while low- and middle-skilled workers make up the food processing sector.
