TIRANA, November 10 /ATSH/ – Five thousand young people have registered for the pilot phase of the Youth Guarantee scheme, which is supported by the European Union.
Minister of Economy and Innovation Delina Ibrahimaj announced today that Youth Guarantee has helped 3,400 young people enter employment, vocational training, or professional internships.
According to her, this figure represents 83% of the young people for whom there has been confirmed the completion of the four-month period following their registration in the scheme.
Ibrahimaj stated that, “Through employment office programs, 1,642 young people secured jobs, 1,325 entered vocational training, 291 completed professional internships, and 142 launched their own businesses.”
Minister Ibrahimaj also encouraged young people aged 15–29—who are not currently in employment, education, or vocational training—to apply and become part of the scheme.
