In less than a year, two young women
in Moldova have
jump-started their careers thanks to the ICT training they received at the Comrat IATP Center.
Natalia Doicu is the most recent
IATP graduate to successfully land a job thanks to her new ICT skills. A 21-year-old
graduate of ICT training in Comrat, Moldova, she secured a job as office manager
at the NGO Public Movement of Women with Large Families
and Women Entrepreneurs of Gagauzia. Over
ten applicants competed for the position of office manager, all of whom demonstrated
good ICT skills. What gave Doicu the advantage, was her strong skills in Web design
acquired from IATP training in Comrat. The
NGO recognized that they needed to do broader outreach work online and Doicu,
they decided, was perfect for the job.
One of Doicu’s first tasks was to
use her ICT skills to take information about the NGO’s mission from their
website (http://msfmmci.md.iatp.net/)
and develop a wiki page using the information. She then made the text on the
Wiki page available in three languages: English, Romanian, and Russian (http://msfmmci.wikidot.com/). This enabled the NGO to reach out not just to
local partners, but also foreign partners and donors. Soon after Doicu was
hired, the NGO was awarded a grant funded by the government of Japan and the UN
Trust Fund for Human Security for a project that targets women vulnerable to
human trafficking and domestic violence in the region of Gagauzia.
Doicu is the
second young woman in the last year to find a job in her hometown thanks to
skills she received at the local IATP center. Eighteen-year-old Xenia Terzi, a
finalist of the Tech Age Girls project (TAG), was the
first. It has been almost a year now since Terzi was offered the well-paying
job at a salon in Comrat. She continues
to work as an expert hairstylist and manicurist using specialized software and
a Web camera to provide her clients with options for hairstyles based on their
face structure, hair length, and complexion.
With Terzi’s help, the salon became a popular and respected location in
Comrat. Terzi commented, "My
success is directly connected to IATP."
TAG is a
program implemented in Comrat designed to equip Moldovan girls from
disadvantaged families and rural areas with technology skills, helping them
secure a brighter future in Moldova. Quality
employment reduces their risk of becoming victims of human trafficking. Over 100 young women in Moldova have
learned ICT skills for their educational and professional development through TAG.
Oh I love this post. You hit the nail on the head.
