rekvalifikácie

Rekvalifikácia is a term used primarily in Central and Eastern European countries, particularly in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, to refer to professional retraining or upskilling. It is a process designed to equip individuals with new skills or knowledge to change their profession or adapt to the evolving demands of the labor market. This can be particularly relevant for individuals who have lost their jobs, are seeking a career change, or wish to enhance their existing qualifications.

The primary goal of rekvalifikácia is to improve employability and reduce unemployment. It often involves short-term or intensive training courses that focus on practical skills and knowledge directly applicable to a specific occupation. These programs can be initiated by individuals themselves or by state employment agencies, often with financial support or subsidies. The content of rekvalifikácia courses varies widely, covering fields such as IT, crafts, healthcare, administration, and services, depending on current labor market needs. Successful completion may lead to recognized certificates or qualifications.
