60 marginalized youth of urban and rural areas of Kucove, Albania aged 16-30 years, have participated in the training held by experienced local trainer Vinjola Berhanaj. Youth came from families in need especially from rural families and Roma and Egyptian community.
The training aims to teach marginalized youth how to write a proper CV according to the specific requirements of the job offers and how to successfully participate in/conduct a job interview.
