Young professionals from Albania now have the opportunity to gain international work experience and create regional networks through the Young Professionals Internship Program of the Western Balkans (WISE), which was presented in Tirana.

Supported by Germany, this program promotes regional cooperation by offering 3-month internships in businesses and NGOs in neighboring Western Balkan countries.

EU Ambassador Silvio Gonzato stated at the introductory event of this program that “with this initiative, Germany contributes to the EU’s efforts to support youth in Albania and the region, engaging, empowering, and connecting them.”

“Together, we raise the voice of young people and create better opportunities for them in their countries. Through initiatives like the Youth Guarantee and the Growth Plan, we are investing in skills, education, and employment to bridge the socio-economic gap with EU member states and build a stronger future for the region,” Gonzato said.

The European Union supports young people in Albania through several programs, providing them with opportunities in entrepreneurship, innovation, postgraduate studies, and many other facilities. (January 29)
