Russian professional associations to assess migrants’ competence

MOSCOW, December 23. /ITAR-TASS/. A system for assessing professional competences of migrants in Russia will be established on the basis of professional associations, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets told journalists on Monday.

“A system for the independent assessment of professional competences is being currently created on the basis of different professional associations and unions,” she said. “These will be proficiency testing centres where anyone who wishes will be able to conform one’s qualification.”

Golodets explained that many people, and not only migrants, get vocational education on their own and want to assess their qualifications. These centres will make it possible also for migrants to prove their skills.
