American Chamber of Commerce in Moldova is happy to announce its partnership with Iolanta Mura and Dr. Phang Riyang to conduct an Employer Branding and Graduate’s Career Aspiration Study in the Republic of Moldova.

This study will survey university students in their final year of studies across Moldova to understand their job and employer preferences. The findings will help Moldovan companies shape their Employee Value Proposition based on the preferences of future candidates they want to attract and design jobs that better match the work values, career aspirations, and developmental needs of the future workforce. The study will also develop insights for universities to better understand the psychographics of the graduates they are nurturing and gauge their level of confidence in finding their ideal job.

This is the first-ever study of its kind in Moldova and will benefit both industry and universities as they prepare the Moldovan economy for the post-pandemic era.

We are delighted to commission Iolanta Mura and Phang Riyang (Ph.D.) for this nationwide study.
