“For future ecologists, this internship represents an important stage in transforming theoretical knowledge into solid professional skills. The responsibility that will fall on them in the process of monitoring agricultural ecosystems and ensuring a sustainable environment for the citizens of the Republic of Moldova is also important,” ANSA said in a statement on the occasion.
Under the guidance of experienced mentors from ANSA, the students will actively participate in phytosanitary control activities, environmental quality monitoring and maintenance of specialized documentation.
An important point of the dialog was the explanation of the Law of RM (No. 123 of 25.05.2023) on paid internships in public service. Once again, the students were reminded that the internship in the professional environment of ANSA provides them with “the opportunity to advance in a strategic career for the security of the country’s natural resources”.
By strengthening this partnership with the academic community, ANSA reaffirms its commitment to investing in the training of new professionals in the field of ecology and environmental protection, thus guaranteeing a greener and safer future for the Republic of Moldova.
Earlier, Logos Press reported that ANSA accepted veterinary students for internships.
At present, the agri-food sector is in urgent need of qualified personnel able to meet international standards of safety and environmental protection. In this context, the continuous training of young professionals is a strategic priority. “Students were encouraged to choose a career in public service, where their enthusiasm and modern vision can make a real difference in the modernization of public institutions and in the effective management of current climate and environmental challenges,” the agency’s press release notes.
Logos Press Remark: Apparently, the state in Moldova is the largest employer. And, apparently, it is natural and right that students of ecology are called to work in a state (and, in fact, controlling) structure. The life of fellow citizens in a favorable and safe ecological environment is the right principle. Of course, safety and “green civilization” costs money, and it is sinful to save on these expenses. But it would be good if environmentalists could find a use not only in the public sector and civil society organizations, but also in producing businesses that pay taxes. These taxes, among other things, are used to finance government agencies.
