Young People of the Joint Internship Programmes Learn about EU Banking Supervision System and Citizen-Centred Governance

Interns from the two ongoing Internship Programmes — one supported by the European Union and the other financed by the national budget, took part today in a new thematic session on European financial supervision and modern governance practices, held as part of broader efforts to equip young professionals with practical knowledge and insights into Moldova’s reform agenda within its European integration process.

Nicolae Grigore, EU High Level Adviser on Financial Services, delivered a comprehensive presentation on the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) – the centralised banking supervision system of the European Union. His session highlighted the importance of financial stability, transparency, and sound banking practices across the EU, offering valuable reflections on how Moldova can adapt these principles as it advances its own financial reforms towards the European integration. 

The training continued with Dumitrița Certan and Silvia Brașoveanu, who presented the SPRINT Programme – a professional development initiative for young civil servants, which promotes a citizen-centred approach to governance. Interns learned about innovative tools for improving public services, simplifying administrative procedures, and strengthening transparency and trust between public institutions and citizens. 

This training session is part of the broader capacity-building programme offered to interns of the two parallel Internship Programmes, both launched on 30 June. During two summer months, students, master’s students and recent graduates gain practical experience in public administration, working alongside civil servants and EU High Level Advisers, while also attending thematic training activities, aimed at enhancing their sectoral policy knowledge and building essential professional skills.

Previous sessions included interactive discussions on reforming large systems with Daniel Funeriu, EU High Level Adviser on Education, Research and Human Capital Development; on reintegration policies and the Transnistrian settlement process with Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Oleg Serebrian; as well as on energy challenges and disinformation in this field, with Alexandru Săndulescu, EU High Level Adviser on Energy.
