On 13.02.2018, in the International Business College in North Mitrovica, CEFE Macedonia and GIZ Kosovo, organized a job fair with 30 businesses from the north of Kosovo.

The job fair was organized in the frames of the project “Youth, Employment and Skills”, after the realization of the soft-skills training which had 50 participants aged 18-35.

This job fair had around 30 private companies coming from different fields and the young people who finished the trainings will have a opportunity to have internship in one of this companies.

For all of the participants in the internship, CEFE Macedonia secured monthly payment of 150 euros.

“With the goal of promotion of the employability of the young people from this project, we are working with the already established structures to strengthen all of the interested individuals and companies, who like to contribute in the process of employment of the youth in Kosovo. The project supports the measures that help the young people in their inclusion in the market for employment and gives them possibility for a successful employment and to get a professional practice” said Jovan Stalevski, the President of CEFE Macedonia.

“The main goal of this project is to create conditions for employment of the young people, because we know that many people in Kosovo aged under 30 years, especially in the communities where the minorities live, the home comers and the people with disabilities have difficulties in finding a job”, said Kumrie Kelmendi, expert cooperator on the project of GIZ Kosovo.

All of the participants who successfully completed the trainings, got their certificates. Also, there were certificates for the organizations (Agencies for employment from North Kosovo, the local initiative LINK and Civic Engagement Center) for their support and activities in the project.
