Abstract

The present situation in Georgia brings new
challenges and priorities to all areas of life in society. The challenges and
priorities reveal many problems, particularly, new forms of structure of
education and labour mobility, economy, employability, new occupations and
qualifications, increased unemployment especially among young people, impact of
demographic trends on labour supply, economic and migration policy,
multicultural environment. Their solution also requires putting greater
emphasis on the quality of education and vocational training. It is also
significant is to improve educational opportunities at all levels, ensure the
adaptation of skilled labour, raise awareness on existing trends at labour
market.



Nowadays, vocational training still remains to
be an unattractive and undesirable field in Georgia as in a post-Soviet
Country. According to EUVEGE, the proportion of 20-24-year-old people
representing the majority of students enrolling in vocational training
organizations is only 1.19%. (EU Technical Assistance to VET and Employment
Reforms in Georgia, 2016). Despite the high rate of unemployment in Georgia,
companies have difficulty in filling job openings, as skills of unemployed
young people do not meet the requirements of labour market. Growing demands for
skilled workers cannot be met by vocational education. Most young people are
either university graduates with different professional skills, or untrained
workers. And the percentage of those between these two areas is very low.



In order to ensure harmonization of
requirements of the labour market in Georgia and the interests of unemployed
young people and private sector, a paradigm shift is needed in various aspects,
which is directly related to both vocational orientation and vocational
training. For this, however, one should promote transition between schools and
economy. Such transition may be provided by professional advice.
