Description
Kosovo’s HoReCa (hotel/restaurant/catering) sector has the potential of driving strong employment growth and local economic development, thereby contributing to the social inclusion of women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and young people and reducing incentives to out-migration and. In order to realize this potential for more and better jobs, key sector stakeholders need to work in partnership and overcome a set of complex and interconnected constraints that are embedded in the social, political, institutional and economic systems prevailing in Kosovo. In this respect, the Project supports key sectors stakeholders in addressing root causes that can be traced to both supply side and demand side factors, i.e. within the institutions that are responsible for providing relevant skills, competences (including entrepreneurial ones), and guidance to the workforce (supply side), and within the enterprises operating in the sector, where employers may not always be aware of concrete steps they can take to improve working conditions, retain talent, and increase productivity overall (demand side). The main target group are young women and men (15-29 years of age) who face compounded labour market challenges when transitioning from school to work. Based on detailed and participatory analysis of future skills needs and binding constraints to job growth in the sector, the Project works with selected Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions to improve the quality of facilities, equipment, and curricula available to learners. The Project’s investments in furthering work-based learning opportunities, self-employment, career guidance and other employability support services, as well as awareness and protection of young people’s rights in the world of work are intended to ease school-to-work transition and improve labour market outcomes. Additionally, by working with small and medium-sized enterprises on enhancing working conditions (including safety and health at the workplace) and investing in people, the Project aims at sustaining more competitive and responsible enterprises in the industry. Partnerships with relevant organizations in Italy’s HoReCa sector underpin project design and implementation, as well as sustainability of results.
