Information sharing and technology development – the wave of the future inMoldova – starts in the classroom. A few years ago, attracting interestedstudents was easy, but developing the right curriculum to make Moldovaninformation technology (IT) graduates attractive to employers was a greaterchallenge.
• USAID in Moldova commissioned a skills gap assessment which found thatvendor-based IT training such as that provided by Cisco was seen as a quickpathway to gaining the skills that employers look for. The academy exposesstudents to the hardware, software, and hands-on experience that make themmarketable.
Instructor Dinu Turcanu brings the Cisco Networking Academy curriculum to the Technical University of
Moldova (TUM), where he worked with Andrei Ghergelas, a student whose career path was transformed by
this training. Mr. Turcanu and other professors describes Andrei as a “medium student in the Technical
University, but in the academy he proved one of the best.” Like many of his classmates, Andrei was looking for
an opportunity to learn something new. All 10 students enrolled in first Cisco class passed the certification
exam, and seven were immediately hired by leading Moldovan IT companies.
Once unsure of his post-university choices, Andrei’s knowledge and high grades led to a position with a
prominent Moldovan IT firm, Moldtelecom – National Telecommunications Operator. In interviews, most
questions focused on principles he had learned through Cisco. Once on the job, he was promoted to team
leader within months. Andrei was in TOP NetRiders National Competition Moldova in 2010.
“If not for the Cisco course that I attended, I wouldn’t have gotten that job,” says
Andrei Gherghelas.
