“An important resource for the labor market”: More than 20,000 Romanians abroad informed about jobs at home

More than 20,000 Romanians from the diaspora have been told what awaits them if they decide to return home: available jobs, career counseling, training programs and help finding employment.

The information campaign took place during this year’s Diaspora Days, when Romanians living abroad and temporarily visiting the country took part in round tables, forums, information meetings and dialogue sessions. Public administration officials, employers, local organizations and Romanians who had returned temporarily or permanently also joined the events.

The National Employment Agency, known as ANOFM, presented the services and active employment measures available through its nationwide network. The agency said the activities were designed to support Romanians who want to come back and reintegrate into Romania’s labor market.

Romanians from the diaspora are an important resource for Romania’s labor market.

ANOFM President Adrian Zvîncă described Romanians with work experience abroad as “an important resource for Romania’s labor market.” He said they had developed professional skills and work experience in different economies, which could bring value to the communities where they choose to return.

“Our role is not simply to tell them to come home, but to build the conditions that make returning a real professional option,” Zvîncă said. The campaign began during the summer and continues cooperation between ANOFM and the RePatriot project, a partnership launched in March.
