Interview with Ms. Ana Zacharian

Like any education and training system, the apprenticeship system in Albania faces various challenges, such as ensuring sufficient participation from employers, maintaining the quality of training and motivation of the apprentices, and addressing skills mismatches in the labor market.

To create a supportive environment for apprenticeship programs, encourage greater participation from the private sector, and enhance the overall quality and relevance of apprenticeship training in Albania the Government of Albania is implementing several employment promotion programs and incentives.

In my opinion all engaged stakeholders should work continuously to the improving the Apprenticeship System to: Enhance Collaboration between stakeholders; Curriculum Modernization; Increased Funding and Resources; Professional Development for Teachers and Business Coaches; Promotion and Awareness and Connect and involve intensively with the apprenticeships EU initiatives and platforms like Pact for Skills, EAfA, EfVET etc.
