The Book

In the quest to become a competitive, knowledge-driven society and nationalize the efficacy of an evolving tradition in the free labor market, Albania is increasingly pursuing policies in alignment with European standards.
The highly effective standards ofthe European skill formation system serve as a guiding compass that orients Albanian policymaking institutions to develop meaningful and interplaying national alliances between the labor market and the education and training system. The institutional approach in A Case Study of European Skill Formation in Albania thoughtfully explores the implementation impact and the field implications of the collective skill formation system in Albanian education reforms.
Dr. Indrit Vuçaj critically examines the manifestation of education reforms in preparation of skills for the labor markets and provides interpretation of the structural, normative, and cultural-cognitive elements pertaining to the progression of addressing the process evolvement and the continuing perplexity of the Albanian national skill formation system reforms as aligned with the European standards.

“Vuçaj’s book is an excellent contribution to the literature on skill formation in Albania. The depth and breadth of his knowledge on European skill formation, Albanian education reforms, and training systems enriches every chapter of this book. A Case Study of European Skill Formation in Albania is certain to be much appreciated by policymakers and academics in Albania, but also in other post-communist Eastern European Countries.”
“Drawing from a rich body of sources, including survey data drawn from Indrit Vuçaj’s field work, A Case Study of European Skill Formation in Albania will serve as a crucial entry on the implications of European skill formation for education policy and practice in Albania. Vuçaj provides a fresh look at Albania’s education sector, and in particular how education in a developing nation is mitigated by entrenched educational (and cultural) traditions, transnational trends, and market needs. This highly recommended book should be read by policymakers and educationalists alike.”
