Belgrade / Novi Pazar: Certificates were awarded last week to 50 young people who traded their summer break for the opportunity to gain valuable work skills. Thirty-one public institutions and private businesses opened their doors to provide on-the-job experience to high school and university students selected from 150 applicants on the basis of academic achievement.
Novi Pazar replicated the internship model supported by PPES in 2009-2010 as part of its Youth Entrepreneurship Action Plan (YEAP); the Sandzak Economic Development Agency (SEDA) and the city Youth Office organized and managed the activity.
Including this current group, more than 210 students in Novi Pazar have participated in internship activities over the past three years. Many successfully turned their internship into employment with their host company following graduation.
