Aspects of good practice | The project achieved a multi-dimensional cooperation on a cross-border basis with long-term prospects.
All project activities were carried out as a combination and interaction of good practices from both sides. A range of activities allowed advisors from both PESs to exchange knowledge and experience on applied methods and procedures for their common benefit. Moreover, the partnership activities under this project had a significant effect in strengthening cooperation, not only between the two PESs, but also with other stakeholders from both sides of the border. An important part of the exchange of experience was carried out through cooperation with employers, including a survey of their needs, both in terms of their expectations from the PESs and their needs in terms labour force skills. This common survey on employers’ needs provided a stimulus to the continuation of such activities beyond the project implementation period. Additionally, the cooperation with employers for defining their needs has been mainstreamed so that in the future the labour market institutions may influence the trends in formal and informal education and training, by providing inputs on matching the education offer with market-driven demands. Furthermore, the promotional campaign served as a role model for other institutions in the cross-border area and stimulated partnership, contacts and networking. |
