Tiivistelmä
This commissioned research-based thesis aimed at identifying the need for educational services in Albania. The results produced herein were accomplished through secondary and primary research. Secondary research was collected from a variety of sources published by international government agencies, and ministries and newspaper agencies in the country researched. These publications consisted of online reports, press releases, and news articles which described the need for educational services in Albania, and the action plans set to increase human capital capacity in the country. For the primary data collection, quantitative methods were used and data was collected through a structured online questionnaire. The researcher surveyed people from 13 higher educational institutions and businesses and 102 students in Albania.
Furthermore, this academic thesis includes theoretical, and empirical parts. The theoretical part covers concepts that support the research process and research methods. The empirical part applies methodologies and explains the procedures followed for the data collection.
Information collected from the secondary and primary research was analysed and listed in this report. The findings were interpreted to fulfil the needs arising from the research problem. The commissioning company can use the results produced herein as business intelligence or to determine whether further research is needed.
The research has revealed Albania's investment plans to develop the education system, the number of teachers who will undergo intensive training, the ICT infrastructure development plans, and the way that HEIs and businesses would prefer their employee training services, and students’ preferred study method as well.
As recommendations for the commissioning company, we suggest further research to identify the training programmes needed in Albania. Actively seek partnerships with the Albani-an government. Offer online consultation and employee training programmes to HEIs and businesses, and offer online degrees programmes to students as well. Establish brand identity through partnerships with Albanian and/or foreign universities in Albania.
