PHARE 2005 / 017-533.04.02.02.01.406 “Training and development plan for SC SPIACT SA employees regarding the requirements of international quality standards-9001, environment – 14001, occupational health and safety – 18001”

Location: Craiova, Dolj County, South – West Development Region

Partner: SC TÜVKarpat SRL

Project purpose:

The analysis of the needs of the group and the target area shows the increased demand for adapted and flexible workforce to implement the change or improvement of the management system within the railway industry. Many companies in the railway industry are expected to disappear from the market, and the staff employed by these commercial entities will have to readjust to the requirements of the labor market in the field. At present, there is no coherent and correlated measure of the educational offer with the skills required on the labor market.
– The reasons for choosing the target group started from the precarious situation existing in most companies within the railway industry. This has a number of negative and profound implications for the professional capacity of employees:
– the environment is often unsanitary and unsuitable for carrying out the activity in optimal conditions of hygiene and profitability;
– the insecurity of the job stability due to the management of the company more on survival than on quality, eliminates the employee’s responsibility for the job well done;
– the professional training at the lower limit of the competences in the fields of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 Standards regarding the Quality Management System, the Environmental Management System and the Management System for Occupational Health and Safety, implies a great fluctuation at the level of the railway industry. ;
– lack of opportunities for continuous training of qualified staff in the field;
the mismatch between the educational offer and the skills required on the current labor market, as well as those necessary for a developing economy;
employee inertia and resistance to changing practices inappropriate to a dynamic market.
