The evolution of professional training of employees and public servants on the labour market

Abstract

The market represented in the beginning the place where the product supply and demand met. The relation between the labour force supply and demand represents what is called the labour force market. The labour force market cannot exist outside the legal regulations establishing it and, especially, organizing the relationship between demand and supply. Unfortunately, at present, one can no longer speak of an automatic adjustment being performed between the demand and the supply, the state having the role to strongly intervene on this market, organizing the employees’ professional training and taking measures to encourage employment. By professional training is defined the activity performed by a person prior to his/her employment, for the purpose of gaining general and specialty knowledge, necessary to exercise a new profession or trade. In Romania, professional training can be achieved in two variants: either through the national educational system, or outside the national educational system.
