The general objective of the project is to facilitate access to professional training of the workforce in the automotive industry and components in the South-West, West and North-West development regions, by stimulating employers in the direction of developing the skills of their employees and by providing quality professional training programs to a minimum of 360 employees, in order to increase their professional insertion capacity and adaptability to the dynamics of economic sectors with competitive potential identified according to SNC and in the fields of specialisation according to SNCDI. The general objective of the project is in line with Thematic Objective 8: Promoting sustainable and quality employment and supporting labour mobility", with the Investment Priority 10.iii "Improving equal access to lifelong learning for all age groups in a formal, non-formal or informal setting, updating the knowledge, skills and competences of the workforce and promoting flexible learning paths, including through professional guidance and validation of acquired skills" and Specific Objective 3.12. “Improving the level of knowledge/competence/skills related to the economic sectors/areas identified according to the SNC and SNCDI of employees”.

Improving business indicators does not frequently lead to better performance due to significant delays in the development of supporting factors, especially transport infrastructure, capitalising on human resource creativity, increasing productivity, digitalisation and automation of the activity. Vulnerabilities of the private environment exist especially in terms of international investments of Romanian companies, productivity in the automotive industry, processors, innovation, energy efficiency and the development of competitive economic agglomerations at territorial level. The contribution to improving the competitive advantages at territorial level, measured by the participation of the economies of the counties in exports, is significantly unbalanced, in favour of seven counties located in the west and center of the country, which, together with Bucharest (17 %), make 60 % of Romania’s exports. The contribution to improving competitive advantages is significantly reduced in the case of services, the most important economic sector, by 67 % of GDP, whose exports are at a small and slightly decreasing world market share. From the above, we note the need for enterprises to implement solutions that allow to overcome the obstacle to exploiting a competitive potential recognised on the market, but incompletely valued to create v
