On November 5, the presentation of the ACT Development Consulting research project "Legal Market Research in Georgia" was held. The project was commissioned by the East-West Management Institute (EWMI).
At the presentation, ACT Lead Consultant Keso Esebua presented a qualitative research report, which reflects the requirements of the legal market in Georgia and the extent to which the current level of training of lawyers meets these requirements.
As the results of the research show, the main demand in the legal labor market is for novice lawyers with practical and professional skills, critical thinking and various soft skills. However, knowledge of English is less important for the public sector but more important for the private sector. These are the basic requirements that young lawyers find most difficult to meet, however, the main challenge still lies in the transition from theoretical knowledge into practice.
The Leadership Scanner is relevant for organizations that are development-oriented, want to discover talents, and look for effective ways to retain it;
This product is also designed for companies that are planning or undergoing a transformation or large-scale reorganization, and its managers want to find out who they can rely on for process of changing, identify thought leaders, and find out who has the potential to lead in the future.

Flora (Keso) Esebua, Senior Consultant, Development Consulting, presented the final report of the work, which reviewed and analyzed in detail the opinions and assessments of young people surveyed across Georgia on various issues.
The study included 2,790 face-to-face interviews in 10 regions of the country, 56 focus discussions and 43 in-depth interviews in 14 target municipalities. The analysis shows that most of the young people in different regions of Georgia are faced with the challenges of employment, civic activities and involvement in the processes. One of the main findings of the research is the motives of the intention of internal and external migration among young people: in case of internal migration, the surveyed young people care about access to better education, and in case of external migration - seek better opportunities of employment The survey also found that young people living in different regions of Georgia believe that their basic rights are protected, although the level of information about these rights is very low.
In-depth research on all of these issues and the availability of research results are important because the evidence-based Youth Initiative, with the support of the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation, plans to develop local and national youth policies and build relevant youth ecosystems. Offer services and opportunities and facilitate the realization of their potential.
"Part of our recommendations is to work actively with young people to raise awareness on various issues. "In addition to educating young people about municipal youth programs and services, it is essential to raise awareness of civic activism and involvement, decision-making opportunities for young people, the importance of different rights and healthy lifestyles," ACT Development Consulting (Keso) Esebua said.
