| Summary: | Given the conditions of European Strategy for Labour which was ratified also by Romania,
that states an intensifying implementation at national level of labour policies and especially
those regarding young person labour market integration, and taking into consideration the
great human and agricultural potential of Lower Danube Region, we consider the
implementation of national and regional programmes in order to train agriculture and rural
development specialists to be very necessary.
This article inquires the necessity of training agriculture and rural development specialists
within Lower Danube Region in the context of cross-border cooperation between Romania
and Bulgaria.
This research starts by analysing the European and national legal framework of adult
training in those two fields. Subsequently, the main premises and advantages of those
activities were emphasized. It is good to mention that the Academy of Economic Studies in
Bucharest, Romania, and the D. Tsenov Academy of Economics in Svishtov, Bulgaria,
proposed themselves to cooperate in the field of “human resources development – common
development of skills and knowledge”. The legal base exists as the Romania-Bulgaria
Cross-border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013 is enforced.
Furthermore, a four years comparative study of the number of persons trained for the main
jobs in rural area, including farmer, in Lower Danube Region was conducted. All these led
to the idea that it is necessary to continue and to stress adult training of farmers and rural
specialists as a solution for rural economy development and social welfare.
Also, comparative analysis of supply and demand of professionals in the field of agriculture
was elaborated. The main educational programs in training agriculture and rural
development specialists were identified and some problems and perspectives were worked
out.
This research can be considered as a first step of future deeper and profound collaboration
of Tsenov Academy of Economics, Svishtov and the Academy of Economic Studies,
Bucharest in terms of creation of common Romanian-Bulgarian Research Area, as a part of
European Research Area (ERA). It includes joint knowledge and skills development through cross-border linkages and exchanges between the universities, in accordance with
Romania – Bulgaria Cross-Border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013 |
