ISET

On November 6, Vice President for Europe and Central Asia (ECA) Laura Tuck, Regional Director for the South Caucasus Henry Kerali, Program Leader for the South Caucasus Rashmi Shankar and other representatives of the World Bank Tbilisi Office visited ISET. The goal of the meeting was to discuss opportunities and challenges for job creation in Georgia with ISET faculty and Policy Institute.

Roundtable discussions involved the subjects of constraints on the labor market, and the job-worker skill mismatch, as well as lack of demand. As for the skill mismatch, sides pointed out the existence of a huge pool of unemployment and, at the same time, employers’ difficulties to find qualified employees.

On October 30, 2014 ISET launched the Finance Course for Professionals. This one-year certificate course aims to endow people who have not received formal training in finance but have to deal with financial matters in their daily routine with fundamental concepts and methods of finance. It will enable the participants to understand and assess financial subjects independently and provide terminological and conceptual essentials for communicating with financial experts.

Lecturers Paul-Henri Forestier, Jean-Frederic Paulsen and Florian Biermann welcomed the participants and provided them with a short overview of the subjects they will be taking throughout the year emphasizing not only the work-related but also the everyday use of the knowledge they will acquire.
