Abstract

At all stages of life, education and training are essential aspects of human development and key factors for economic growth, jobs, and social cohesion. High quality and inclusive training must be a main goal of our society, especially as we live in a very challenging period, governed by the fourth industrial revolution, that transforms economies, jobs, and the society itself. Because of this, the „Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacau is involved as a partner, with other universities, in a project with European funding, that facilitates practical training of students at economic partners, to increase the employability of graduates and obtain feedback from employers to correlate the curriculum to the labor market. The current paper aims to present a case study related to the feedback offered by the students who carried-out internships at local economic agents, within the above-mentioned project.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

In September 2015, in New York, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly adopted the document „Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. Mechanical and repetitive work has been taken over by machines and the new labor market requires people to focus on ingenuity, understanding, and creating new things In this context, education should not be seen only as a process before entering the labor market. Isolated, fragmented approaches have proven to be ineffective over time; to attend the goals, integrated strategies must be adopted, with all the interested parties involved For this reason, to meet current and future challenges, companies must support the formation of education. To meet current and future challenges, companies must support the formation of education They must open up, offer their knowledge to both, students and teachers so that they can be adapted to the new requirements of employers. The current paper aims to present a case study related to the feedback offered by some students who have done internships at local economic agents, within a project financed from European funds
