Showcase day called ‘Digital skills – the key to career advancement’ was organized on July 11^th, 2024 as the final event of the one-stop-shop program for increasing youth employability. The event was organized by ICT Cortex – a cluster for information technology, innovation, design, education and technological development of Montenegro and the Technical and Research Laboratory – TechLab, who have, in the past six months,  conducted the digital skills course as part of the mentioned program.

For the past six months, 45 young people from the central region of Montenegro attended the digital skills course. The course consisted  of several modules, including Digital marketing,  Scrum master, Product owner and Product manager. In parallel with the digital skills program, these young people also attended two modules of the soft skills course and career counseling. The aim of the one-stop-shop program was to educate and empower young people, and as a result, faster and easier integration into the labor market. 

The event brought together the participants of the one-stop-shop training program, and close to 50 employers from the civil, business and IT sectors, and marked the end of the educational program. During the event, young people had an opportunity to demonstrate their skills and acquired knowledge, to present themselves to employers through “1 on 1” conversations, to hear advice for further career development, gain insight into the needs of the labor market and possibly get an opportunity for employment.
