Abstract: The economic development depends very much on the quality of our children education because investing in education means investing in the future. To be able to stand out in a modern, competitive and technological world in which innovation and technologic evolution take place at fast pace, is not possible without a high quality education. In order to be competitive on the global market, the Romanian education needs better trainings for specialists an greater adaptability to the dynamic macro-economic trends. If during the centralized economy there was an educational system with a clear and precise purpose, namely - integration on the labour market immediately after completing studies - considering that Romania at that time was mainly an industry based country -, now the integration is much slower. The decline of the vocational and technical education system was manifested both by a decrease in prestige and by a lack of consistency in institutional practices, the cause being the numerous legislative changes. The major problem of this deficit comes from the lack of efficient mechanisms for correlating labour market requirements with the Romanian education and training system, vocational education being a tool in the strategy of attracting foreign investors. Thus, this article aims to provide a picture of the vocational and technical education system as well as a series of solutions that could ensure the operation of the system.
