PAPI Diosig continues the series of professional training programmes
22.09.2011
| The PAPI centre in Diosig (Bihor County) continues the activities beneficial for the community, organising two professional series of trainings for people looking for a job. RECL employees dealt with registering participants and thus organised the series of trainees. |
For three months, PAPI Diosig will host courses to qualify people as commercial workers and construction worker for groups of 25 and 20 people, respectively. “The trainings are free and are beign organised following a partnership between the Diosig City Hall and the Ruhama Foundation”, RECL manager Diana Corbuţiu says. The project is called “Informed, trained, hired” and it was funded from the Sectoral Operational Programme Human Resources Development 2007-2013, which through the Carreer Centre of the Ruhama Foundation is organising free professional training for people looking for a job.
Trainings have started at the same tim, on August 20th, including a theory module and a practical one. In the end, graduates will receive a CNFPA certificate recognised both in the country and in EU member countries. “RECL Diosig made people aware of this welcome opportunity for people who cannot find a job. We dealt with registering participants, here at PAPI, and thus we organised the two groups of trainees. Last but not least, we offered the PAPI room to the organisers”, the Diosig RECL manager says.
Similar initiatives at PAPI Diosig
This is not the first initiative that PAPI Diosig had in the last years in order to help quality the unemployed. At the beginning of 2011, the centre’s headquarters hosted a course for people unemployed from the agricultural centre, in the area of using the computers. Some 14 people were taught how to use the computers and received ECDL start diplomas. PAPI infrastructure was used to teach them. Many used the diplomas and got jobs, while other were promoted in the same companies. “PAPI Diosig will keep offering such services, especially since it’s qualified as e-centre, which allows us to become involved in qualifying people in the IT sector. Moreover we will also be involved in the activities of other organizations working at a country and regional level for the professional qualifications in various areas of activity”, RECL manager Diana Corbuţiu says.
More opportunities on the job market offered by KEP
Qualification courses organised at PAPI are offering people much better chances on the job market. But even those not really looking for a job are interested in such sessions and even ask for them to continue. Many times, it’s simply a basic IT training, from people who own computers but do not know to use them at full value. However, they still want to enjoy the new technologies. Other beneficiaries are farmers or small entrepreneurs who want to learn to managed their business better.
Basically, under the auspices of the KEP project 4 training sessions and 2 regional workshops were organised, in order to increase the capacity of RECL personnel in using IT&C; more than 50 PPAI centres have been certified or are currently being certified (more than 20% of PAPI centres become accredited supplier of professional training); 135 KEP communities offered IT&C training through CNFPA certification ensured by accredited suppliers; there are 17 communities whose priority consists of JobClub services at PAPI.
