Help has started the implementation of information sessions within the project “Self-Employment Training Program”. This project aims to promote employment and entrepreneurship skills of marginalized youth in the municipalities of Gjilan, Viti, Kaçanik and Hani i Elezit.

The program will provide training for business skills to around 200 young people from these municipalities, and upon completion, 32 best business proposals submitted by trained young people will be awarded small grants to start their own businesses. This project is funded by USAID Empower Private Sector in partnership with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and is implemented by Help Kosovo.

It is also co-financed by the partner municipalities in the project. A total of 8 information sessions will be held, 2 in each municipality.

Who can apply?

Young people (18-35 years old) from the municipalities of Gjilan, Viti, Kaçanik and Hani i Elezit have the right to apply. 50 people from each municipality will be selected to attend a 5-day training in business.
