Concretely, the Action will deliver tailored-made vocational and on-the-job training to 37 unemployed RE from the northern region to upgrade their professional skills and help address the existing structural mismatch between labour market demands and RE qualifications. Furthermore 10 unemployed RE from Berane and Bijelo Polje will receive support for additional six-month employment.

This is expected to improve RE employment prospects, while enhancing their labour market inclusion and reducing poverty.
