ALDI Gorazde started with the implementation of a new project
The Association for Local Development Initiatives ALDI Gorazde started with the implementation of a new project „Support For Smes Engaging In Apprenticeships - Getting Smes On Board“. The project will be funded by the EU within the Erasmus Plus programme. It will be implemented in Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany and will last for two years.
CEDIT is the Project leader and project partners are: Association for local development initiatives – ALDI and Agency for economic development of municipality Prijedor (PREDA) from Bosnia and Herzegovina, OXFAM from Italy and Innovation in Learning Institute „Friedrich-Alexander-University“, Erlangen, from Nürnberg, Germany.
The Project aims is to contribute to reducing youth unemployment by increasing the supply and quality of apprenticeships. Also, the intention is to support small and medium enterprises that struggle to find suitable candidates with the required competencies.
The Project fosters the exchanges of experiences among 3 countries where there is a high potential for mutual learning: Italy, where a recent reform introduced a compulsory apprenticeship period at the secondary school level (law 107/2015), BiH, where a discussion is ongoing on how to foster SMEs and VET providers, Germany that is the leading country in this field in Europe.
The project comprehends 2.350 small and medium enterprises which will be informed about the apprenticeship opportunities, the development of a database for facilitating the exchanges between youth and SMEs (which will include 1.500 small and medium enterprises and 300 secondary vocational schools), the training to 150 entrepreneurial tutors, 90 educational tutors and 30 intermediary tutors, with aim to allow sustainability after the project completion.
Project meetings of partner organizations were held in Florence, on the 13th and 14th October 2016 where they agreed on next steps in the Project implementation.
