Objectives

Specific
objective 1: Develop and establish an opportunity-driven legal migration
scheme between Slovakia and Moldova supporting young Moldovans starting their
careers in the ICT sector by establishing a viable temporary labour mobility
scheme. The scheme will offer young (20) Moldovan talents – students or
graduates of ICT related fields – short-term employment (12 months) or
internships (3 months) in leading ICT companies in Slovakia, enabling them to
gain practical knowledge, skills and experience in professional environment

graduates of the scheme upon their return to Moldova via their effective
placement on the labour market or business start-ups, in cooperation with
relevant stakeholders. Through individual professional growth and subsequent
return of participants to Moldova, the scheme will support transfer of
knowledge and skills between the Slovak and Moldovan ICT sectors as well as
development of business relations between private companies in both
countries. To build capacities of the local partners, the project will
support the creation of a public-private partnership in order to establish an
educational platform, the Digital Academy Social Programme.

The project will create a
nurturing learning environment that will provide a series of diversified
activities, including fun ones that require hands-on application of science,
technology and crafts (including mechanics, electricity, electronics).
Students will be challenged to choose from a variety of Tekwill based
programs- from more IT-oriented and technical workshops and meetups to
activities that include make, build, “think with their minds hands” and
design while solving individually or in group a variety of tasks or real-life
problems. Importantly, the project will feature an environment that
encourages students to trust themselves, to take ownership of their own
learning, and to feel safe while making mistakes. Beyond the technical skills
gained at Tekwill as part of the project, students will be able to strengthen
essential soft skills like problem solving, communication skills, critical
thinking, basic digital skills and working in teams. To achieve the objective
and contribute to the aim of the project a certain number of activities will
be implemented. Some of them will be focused on taking the students out and
putting them simply in a different working environment, acquiring new skills
and abilities, others on working in a team and implementing joint projects. A
part of activities will familiarize students and their professors with the
new technologies, will introduce them to the Tekwill community.
