Our Interventions

Initial vocational education and training, retraining, and labour market integration are central to our activities. This is how we strengthen skills and create the basis for people to earn a decent living and actively participate in society. 

In the field of economic development, we are focusing on five areas with the highest potential for sustainable growth: tourism, trade, business ecosystems, green cities, and sustainable agriculture. We are committed to generating productive jobs, increasing incomes, and promoting well-being that spares natural resources. 

Our employees work each day to implement projects, provide guidance, and organise internships.
