Description

The ICT sector in Moldova, with a high share of the country's GDP - 10% in 2021, was prioritised by the government as a priority sector for the country's economic development. The main challenge the ICT sector has been facing is the lack of skilled human resources vis-à-vis the market needs. As a solution, it is important to adopt multi-sectoral measures to support the ICT capacity development of the target groups - with the focus on women but also men and SMEs, through capacity development and innovations, connecting target groups and creating infrastructure that support economic growth and the market development in Moldova. The project will therefore contribute to the long-term improvement of the market environment, strengthen public-private relations through the Career Fair (Career EXPO), and share Slovak experience in 4 regions - Chisinau, Balti, Comrat and Cahul, with the aim of systematically improving the socio-economic status of young people, women and the wider public. Through the "Cyber Security Academy" programme and international internships at ESET, the project will support 20 students (m/f) of the Technical University of Moldova. 80 people (m/f) in less developed regions will benefit from the "TECH Incubator and TECH WOMEN Incubator" programmes and career mentoring. 15 small and medium-sized enterprises from the regions will be trained in digitisation and smart solutions, and 4 selected enterprises will be supported through mini-grants and individual mentoring provided by the Slovak experts. The topic of gender equality will also be covered through networking workshops and the international conference "WOMEN IN TECH" with the expected participation of 2,900 people. The project comprehensively addresses the development of capacities in Moldova, gender inequality, connects Chisinau with 3 less developed regions and contributes to the job creation for women in rural areas.
