The project aims to support the growth of Kosovo’s ICT sector by offering training courses designed to improve both digital and business skills. These courses help strengthen the ICT labor market while enhancing the competitiveness of both digital and traditional businesses. Ultimately, the goal is to foster economic growth and create new job opportunities.
After successfully completing four semesters (rounds) of ICT Skills Development Training, which benefited 1,238 individuals, the project now introduces a specialized training focused on Business Development and Global Marketing Strategies. This training aims to further enhance the business and management skills of individuals who completed the previous ICT skills courses.
