Financed by: GIZ / Centres for Migration and Development
Implementation period: 01/2024 – 12/2024
Albania has progressed in its economic growth, but still has high rates of unemployment and informality, accompanied by a high number of returnees and low qualified vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities (PWD), whom particularly face psychosocial distress and are disadvantaged in the labor market. The Program “Centres for Migration and Development” (ZME), implemented by GIZ in Albania, aims at supporting returnees and other local vulnerable groups, including PWD to enhance hospitality technical skills and soft skills, with the final aim of improving employment opportunities in agritourism and hospitality.
Center for Competitive Skills aims to assist returned migrants and marginalized individuals, including PWD in enhancing both hospitality technical skills and soft skills. This will be achieved through effective task-oriented on-site career orientation and training, ultimately aiming to improve employment prospects within the agritourism and hospitality sectors. The delivery of on-the-job career orientation and training will take the form of internships at suitable premises for the target group. As a culmination of the project, a Job Fair will be organized, featuring the participation of returnees, vulnerable groups, individuals with different abilities, the regional Employment Office, and companies from both the private and public sectors.
