Innovation sets the rapid pace of economic development and ensures the demand for highly qualified personnel. Enterprises are forced to adapt to changes, change their system of personnel training and form requests to the vocational education system. Educational institutions, in order to ensure their competitiveness, must also work ahead of the curve and train specialists with competencies that will be in demand in the future.
The main guideline in the formation of a national qualification system in Belarus is the creation of an independent certification assessment system. The result of this work will be the elimination of the disproportion between the scope of vocational education and the requirements of employers. This is a gradual replacement of qualification reference books with professional standards, a new approach to training personnel and an independent assessment of their qualifications, and, in general, an increase in the level of the economy and, accordingly, the well-being of citizens. With an independent assessment, the employee will be able to confirm their skills and abilities acquired outside the formal education system and receive a certificate that provides the right to employment.

The creation of an independent certification assessment system will ensure the mobility of all categories of labor resources, and will also make a significant contribution to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of Sustainable Development Goals 4, 8, 9 and other SDGs.

The issues of improving the efficiency of work with municipal solid waste and secondary material resources remain relevant on the agenda of the Belarusian government.
From 2010 to 2021, the volume of collection of secondary material resources increased by almost 2.5 times, and the level of use of municipal solid waste more than 3 times. Today, the country uses 29% of municipal solid waste and introduces approaches to the production of RDF fuel. The line for the use of RDF fuel has already been built at «Krasnoselskstroymateriallari», and a project in Grodno is at the completion stage. Belarus also plans to build 16 waste sorting plants by the end of 2025.
Taking into account the measures taken, it is predicted to increase the level of use of municipal solid waste in the total volume of their generation up to 64% by 2025, 70% by 2030, 90% by 2035.
Efficient waste management makes a significant contribution to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of Sustainable Development Goals 12, 13 and other SDGs.
