New training qualification (140 hours), that will be registered in the VET catalogue
of SOC.

School of Languages (Barcelona).

II. Training on Tourist sector to russian-speakers jobseekers
On the context of a VET program based on the tourist sector, some trainings were
specially addressed to russian-speakers.
• Some studies emphasize the importance (for the competitiveness) of the
Russian language in the tourist sector.
• It is much easier retrain russian-speakers (with enough soft skills) to the
tourist sector than acquire a high Russian-language level by native.
• Nowadays, it is in a pilot phase. The recruitment of participants have been
during september 2014.

Way forward:
Assesment of the resolts during the traning and once finished the training
(collocations in the labour market). To improve:
• Activation measures
• The profile to be recruited and the recruitment process
• Training specialties to be chosen
• Complementary contents/skills
It would be possible to work out this pilot project on other strategical sectors:
Commerce, housing sector, some industrial sector…
Some research on labour market needs could be done
![Page 23: Catalan labour market (Servei d'Ocupació de Catalunya)](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052600/5582ea8ed8b42a26168b45ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Participants perception:
• Russian language is an important added value when looking for a job.
• VET is considered as a fast way to obtain a professional accreditation
• It is very attractive the fact that the obtained qualification is recognized in
Europe (EUROPASS)
• Other sectors (in addition to tourism) demanding Russian language:
• Commercial
• Housing
• Some customer services (as retail, medical, beauty…)
• The difficulties of translate and convalidate the education from the origin country
is a huge barrier (expensive and 2 years!).
• There is a important over-education phenomen (under-occupation!).

Some provisional findings:
• English is necessary anyway (English should be complementary accredited or
trained).
• There should be better information and support about how to convalidate the
education
• The recruitment of candidates should be wider than SOC database (primary and
secondary schools, language centers, local employment services, social
services, religious centers)
• It would be interesting offering this VET programme within a labour activation
programme.
• Russian could be the foreign language to be provided in qualifications related
with other sectors demanding this language.

• Cutbacks on R&D spending generates losses of human capital trough emigration.
Altough emigration of Spanish nationals from Spain is quite low, as seen.
• Labour Market Intelligence to identify asymmetries, competitiveness oportunities, and
labour market needs; in order to anticipate policies.
Both for promoting outflows and for taking advantatge of inflows
• To improve the mutual recognition of qualifications and education levels
• To develop language skills
