She noted that a public call has been open for all companies which have need for skilled workforce and for new employment to apply before end of year.

“Now ongoing is the training for ten trainees in Photon optronics Company in Niš, for operators in the production of optical elements. This company has already participated in our training programme. As we have already said, the programme of training of CNC machine operators has also been approved. Call for young people who would like to be trained for this profession will be open in the period 14 July – 15 August“, Zlatkov said.

She particularly stressed that all those who would be undergoing training for this profession will be receiving financial allowance.

“On-the-job training programmes take place in companies and the trainees enter into contracts with companies. They undergo the WBL programme with experienced mentors and receive financial allowance for the work they do. That’s to motivate and encourage them to show themselves in the best light possible and create for themselves a chance to get a job after they complete their training, which is the ultimate goal of every trainee“, Zlatkov said.

According to her, Job Info Centre received applications from the employers belonging to different sectors.

“It is possible that there will be more interest for CNC machine operators and similar professions in the machinery sector. There is some interest shown by dairy processors as well as by some specific professions in IT companies in Niš. When we have further programmes approved for companies, we will publish calls for young people so that they could apply for some of these professions which will be available“, Zlatkov announced.

Zlatkov added that a public call from companies which look for trained workforce is open from 20 June until the end of year, within the “Education to Employment”' project.
