The YMCA Moldova team visited the “Dimitrie Cantemir” Gymnasium in the town of Glodeni, where they conducted an interactive session focused on the personal and professional development of young people, career guidance, and the discovery of opportunities that can help them shape their future paths.

This activity is part of the project “Career Guidance and Employment for Rural Youth in the Republic of Moldova,” implemented by YMCA Moldova in partnership with Kerk in Actie (the Netherlands). The project aims to provide young people with information, practical tools, and learning opportunities to help them identify their interests, skills, and suitable career paths.

During the session, students participated in practical exercises, interactive activities, and discussions regarding career choices, setting future goals, and the importance of continuous skill development. Special emphasis was placed on self-awareness, communication, digital and professional competencies, as well as the skills needed to adapt to current labor market demands.

Participants also had the opportunity to learn more about training and employment opportunities available in the Republic of Moldova. Young people were encouraged to explore various professional fields, leverage their strengths, and view career choice as a process involving information gathering, experience, learning, and continuous development.

Through such non-formal education activities, YMCA Moldova contributes to preparing young people for key stages of their educational and professional journeys, offering them the opportunity to develop their skills and make better-informed decisions about their future.

We thank the leadership of the “Dimitrie Cantemir” Gymnasium in Glodeni for their openness and cooperation, as well as the students for their interest, energy, and active involvement throughout the entire session!
