The activity that I would like to highlight is the creation of the Local Action Plan for Employment in the City of Mostar, which we have just started. The Local Action Plan for Employment is the basic instrument for implementing an active employment policy in the City of Mostar. It will elaborate in more detail the goals and priorities of the employment policy defined earlier through the Strategy of the development of the City of Mostar 2022-2027, through programs and measures as well as through the indicative financial plan of the Strategy, all in order to achieve the set goals and enable a sustainable increase in employment. City of Mostar, by creating a Local Action Plan for Employment, wants to systematically regulate and solve the employment issue in the area of the City, in cooperation with a key actors who can provide support for successful implementation of employment measures."
Mr. Marko Laco, CEO of IT Odjel d.o.o., "We are aware of the fact that in today's market both employers and young people face a similar problem: employers face a lack of quality workforce, while at the same time young people struggle to find work. Precisely for this reason, IT Odjel welcomed this project and the young people who are part of it with open arms. What makes us especially happy is the variety of registered candidates who.
One of the goals of IT Odjel is the education of all those who are eager for knowledge and it is through this education that we open new jobs for a new generation of qualified personnel.
By regularly attending this free education and passing the final test, participants will receive a certificate.
In addition, for all those interested, we plan to organize the second cycle of education for WordPress developers and digital marketing experts. It will start in the spring of 2023.
The cycle of education in the ILO project is the first concrete step for creating the foundations of the ITO Academy. We are proud to be a part of this project, and we are happy with the outcome of future staff who, I am sure, will be in demand in many companies - including ITO.
