Chapter 2. Current state nsk and reasons for need of its enhancement

NSK represents the organization-legal mechanism of providing economy with qualified personnel.

The operating NSK was created in the 1960-1980th years and throughout subsequent period was enhanced taking into account requirements of economic development of the state.

The main documents regulating functioning of NSK are:

nation-wide qualifiers of the Republic of Belarus ("Occupation" and "Specialties and qualifications");

job evaluation catalogs (Single wage rate book of works and professions of workers and Single job evaluation catalog of positions of employees);

educational standards.

The republican state bodies regulating and organizing functioning of NSK are the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and the Ministry of Education.

The operating NSK is used for classification and tariffing of professions of workers and positions of employees, regulation of their work, the organization of training, advanced training, retraining, matching and arrangement of workers according to specialty and qualification, assignments of qualification, application of various wages systems.

At the same time discrepancy between structure and quality of education and the need of the labor market for personnel is noted. Results of training often do not conform to requirements imposed by employers to qualification of workers.

In turn, the education system has no information on the real need of the labor market for personnel expressed in quantity and quality characteristics of personnel. There is no information on the directions and scales of preparation, retraining and advanced training required for economy.
