TIRANA, February 1/ATA/ Young people passionate about information technology have been applying for 8 days for an opportunity to attend the coding program, a new initiative of the Albanian government.
Prime Minister Edi Rama wrote in a post on social networks that about 1,000 applicants have applied, so far.
Rama invited all those who wish to be trained for well-paid jobs, in the domestic or foreign market working from home, to apply for this program.
Minister of State for Youth and Children Bora Muzhaqi, in the video published by PM Rama, emphasized that, “The coding program, which was opened 8 days ago, has so far recorded 939 applications”.
To join this program, applications continue in e-Albania, where young people can apply for the professional training course with financial support.
“The coding program is the newest initiative of the Albanian government that offers financial support to anyone who wants to develop skills in the field of information technology”, said Muzhaqi.
Muzhaqi said that, “Thanks to this program you can become part of professional courses in the field of technology and information for part-time or full-time for periods of 3-12 months where after the end of the course you can be integrated in the field of technology”.
The coding program, in addition to the subsidy, will also provide a connection with the labor market, to simplify the interaction between the professional young people and the labor market, as well as to enable employment offers for young people with wages comparable to the international market, immediately after the end of the course.
The subsidy from the government goes up to 50% of the cost, while for some more vulnerable categories it goes up to 100%./k.s/j.p/p.s./
