Digital Response to Unemployment Problems in the Western Balkans (DRUPWB)

Published

December 2023 marks the start of the project “Digital Response to Unemployment Problems in the Western Balkans” (DRUPWB), co-funded by the European Union. This two-year initiative sets out to improve vocational education and training (VET) by building capacity and developing advanced curricula grounded in STEM pedagogy. The project aims to make skills more relevant to the labour market and to integrate VET into local, regional and national development strategies.

The project is guided by the latest recommendations of the European Training Foundation and the Torino Process, ensuring a strategic approach aligned with current economic and social trends.
