DARYA: Dialogue and action for resourceful youth in Central Asia

International experts met in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, for a peer-learning workshop on “Monitoring of skills demand for relevant qualifications” recently.

The workshop was organised within the ETF DARYA project  (module 1 and 2) and brought together more than 50 stake­hol­ders form Central Asia and the EU. The event empha­si­zed  the use of labour market data, sectoral studies, and employer surveys to inform the deve­lo­p­ment of occu­pa­tio­nal standards and curricula and showcased practical tools and examples from various EU countries, stressing their role in shaping occu­pa­tio­nal standards and curricula. Attendees engaged in dynamic dis­cus­sions, focusing on stra­te­gies for sector-specific skill analysis tailored to diverse country contexts. Key outcomes included iden­ti­fy­ing crucial areas where skill infor­ma­ti­on is vital and crafting recom­men­da­ti­ons within the DARYA project for future actions.

The work­shop­’s success lies in its col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve approach, illu­mi­na­ting the trans­for­ma­ti­ve potential of labour market insights in cur­ri­cu­lum deve­lo­p­ment and fostering a workforce aligned with evolving industry demands.

Mariya Dzhengozova (3s) par­ti­ci­pa­ted as a coor­di­na­tor of the team of DARYA’s inter­na­tio­nal experts on qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons systems and frame­works: Olav Aarna, Kaie Piiskop, Baiba Ramina and Vidmantas Tūtlys.
