Roundtable discussion with Businesses, Organizations and Institutions

As part of the efforts to promote vocational training programs and strengthen cooperation between institutions, businesses and organizations, a roundtable discussion was held at the Vocational Education Center in Gjilan with various local stakeholders.

This roundtable was attended by representatives of businesses, civil society organizations, educational institutions, representatives of the Vocational Education Center as well as participants and beneficiaries of the YEEP 2 project. The discussions focused on identifying challenges and opportunities for improving vocational programs, with the aim of developing the practical and professional skills of young people in the municipality of Gjilan.
