YEREVAN, May 27. /ARKA/. Ralf Yirikian, director general of
VivaCell-MTS Armenian mobile telecommunication operator, Armen
Ashotyan, education and science minister, and Haykuhi Gevorgyan,
director of the Youth Professional Orientation Center, signed a
cooperation agreement on Friday to develop the country's high schools.
"Our cooperation raises education-business relations to a new level,
since future employers should support education system in training
specialists," Ashotyan told journalists.
He said that the project implies large technical support for the
country's high schools.
"High school is a link between systems of secondary education and
higher professional education," the minister said.
"Students should obtain sufficient knowledge and practice to choose
their profession and enter higher education establishments."
Yirikian, on his side, told journalists that the aim of this project
is to give an opportunity to high school students to make their
choice based on the information received from skilled specialists,
not relatives and friends' advises.
"Besides, the program will have a favorable social influence in
the view of training professionals demanded in the labor market,"
Yirikian said.
Haykuhi Gevorgyan said ten high schools are already involved in the
project, but this number is planned to be doubled later this year.
She said that unemployment is high among Armenia's youth. At the same
time, there is no supply in specialists of many demanded professions
in the labor market, while other specialists are abundant here.
Gevorgyan said that this program would narrow this gap.
She said that the professional orientation process will run in
two stages.
The first stage is aimed at enhancement of students' awareness of
labor market. Booklets with the list of highly demanded professions
will be given to them.
The second stage will be hosted by VivaCell-MTS company, where skilled
specialists will present details of five most demanded professions
to them.
VivaCell-MTS (K-Telecom) started operating in Armenia in 2005.
Mobile Telesystems (MTS), the largest mobile telecommunication
operator in Russia and the CIS, holds 80% of the company's shares,
and the remaining 20% belong to Lebanese Fattouch Group.
