There are 30 people with Down syndrome who have completed the training opportunities in Vocational Training Centers in Prishtina, Prizren and Mitrovica. All the trainings were completed by the end of March and then they will start their one month long, paid internship period in different companies or institutions. DSK is requesting for support for intern positions in different companies in Prishtina, Prizren and Mitrovica.

We are looking forward to achieve this in three Municipalities mentioned above, so that people with down syndrome can start their intern by April. Until now, we found 6 positions in 4 companies in Prishtina (Adem Jashari Airport, SuperViva, Rezonanca, GIZ) and we need to find 10 other intern positions for 10 people with Down syndrome.

Professions that people with down syndrome got trained are;

• Assistant in Administration
