General Goal of the Project: The creation and implementation of training programs to activate and integrate unemployed individuals into local labor markets by local employment partnerships.

LPZ Neum, Stolac and Ravno is one of the 26 partnerships established in Bosnia and Herzegovina within the framework of the project "Support of the European Union to local partnerships for employment - Phase II" (LEP II), which is financed by the European Union with 6 million euros, and implemented by the International Labor Organization (ILO ).
