The organization Women’s Network “Qeliza” in Gjakovë, as a beneficiary of the sub-grant from the Kosovo Youth Participation – KYP project, has achieved to engage five girls in the three-month paid internship program in this municipality.
Through their project “EmpowerHER – Bridging Futures for Young Women in Digital Marketing” they have developed an internship program to improve the socio-economic position of young people aged 15-29 years and thus prepare them for the labor market. Moreover, in the same project, they have implemented activities directly related to the professional development of young girls in the field of digital marketing, content creation, and other needed skills in this industry.
The beneficiaries of the internship program are positive that this experience will serve to increase their courage to apply for other jobs. Some business representatives expressed their readiness that with the development of the capacities of the interns from the internship program, they will have the opportunity to employ them with full commitment after the end of the internship program.
We invite you to get to know their experience during practical work in the period April-June 2024 in local businesses in Gjakova/Đakovica.
