Information about the project
Project title *
IT Retraining
Description *
In addition to all formal education activities, the needs of the labor market also need to be supported through non-formal education. IT Retraining in Serbia emerged from the necessity for developing an ecosystem that effectively produces more than 3,000 non-degree IT professionals each year and requires creative and effective deployment of government resources in close collaboration with the industry. According to the Priority objectives and activities of state administration and the Government to improve the IT sector in Serbia, the software development industry in Serbia, which is largely export-oriented, is experiencing 60% higher growth than the overall IT market. It generates the highest available net profit and requires low capital to start, relative to other sub-segments in the IT industry. The Second phase of the program is running the pilot short-term training program initiated earlier in 2017, which included 100 participants and resulted in more than 90 certified trainees. The second phase of the pilot is envisaged to start in January 2018 and plans to include larger number of service providers that will provide training to a total of 700 people across the country.
