Digitalisation- the Way Ahead
The “The ICT for Kosovo’s Growth” project, funded by EU office in Kosovo, implemented by WEglobal and Prishtina, aims to enhance the competitiveness of Kosovo’s digital and traditional businesses by supporting growth of Kosovo’s ICT sector leading to growth and new job creation.
The project is designed to address the lack of trained workforce in Kosovo ICT sector through provision of up-to-date, modern ICT trainings to Kosovo workforce.
