IBCM INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COLLEGE MITROVICA CONFERENCE

MITROVICA INNOVATIONS 2015

SKILLS, SKILLS, SKILLS

Challenges, Innovations and Good Practice in Human Resource Development in Mitrovica and beyond

which will take place on 12 June, at Hotel Restaurant LUX, Mitrovica South, from 9.00 to 16.00, and on 13 June, at the IBCM North Campus (Cara Dusana nn, Mitrovica North), from 9.00 to 16.00.

 

Almost two-thirds of Kosovo’s population is of working age (15-64 years). The working age population is expected to grow rapidly over the next decade, as Kosovo has one of the youngest populations in Europe. Economic development opportunities for the Northern Kosovo region but also for Serbian-speaking communities in Kosovo are directly related to the skills and skill development opportunities of its people. Access to high-quality education but also brain drain remain challenges towards a robust social and economic development.

 

Mitrovica Innovations 2015 – Skills, Skills, Skills aims to discuss potentials and challenges for human resource development as a key challenge and opportunity for economic development with particular focus on agribusiness and agriculture, small and early-stage enterprises as well as on human resource development in the public administration. The objective is to exchange good practice and insights and to derive recommendations for the public and private sector as well as for the education sphere. The event brings together regional and international experts, stakeholders and partners from diverse areas including the private and public sectors, academia and education, international donors and financing institutes.
