Orienting vocational skills toward the job market
Albania’s economic and employment growth is hampered by a shortage in quality technical skills. In response to this the government of Albania wants to improve vocational skills development (VSD) and to reorient it towards labour market needs. The Skills for Jobs project will support this reorientation.
