Specific Objective: Roma and Egyptians in Bijelo Polje and Berane have enhanced access to the labour market through implementation of trainings and local employment initiatives.

The Action will empower unemployed RE to access labour market by improving the implementation of the existing active employment measures and enhancing local employment initiatives. 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.
