About the programme
The Moja praksa programme is primarily intended for young, highly educated unemployed young people, but also for final year students considering their future career while awaiting graduation. Over the course of three months, the programme offers a number of trainings that develop business skills, and practical work in teams, on projects developed by companies participating in the programme and tailored to their needs.
Through trainings on business skills, the trainees learn about team work, leadership, communication, job interview, and presentation skills. The soft skills mastered during the training are necessary for successful performance at work. These trainings contribute to the personal and professional development of young people who need to expand their knowledge and apply it in real-life situations at work so as to increase their competitiveness on the labour market and respond to the challenges ahead.
In the second part of the programme, the trainees split into teams and work on solving a specific assignment, applying the knowledge and skills acquired in workshops. The assignments are created by the companies involved in the programme according to their needs, so that their involvement brings them the significant benefit of having an issue solved. With the support of the mentors from the companies and the team of experts from INTERA Technology Park, the new teams spends several weeks working on their assignments, and gain specific professional experience. Teams present the successful results of their work to other trainees and company representatives during the diploma awarding ceremony.
INTERA Technology Park is particularly proud of the statistics that testify to the quality of the Moja praksa programme. So far, more than 1 000 candidates applied, and more than 500 young people completed the programme. Almost 50% of them got a job opportunity, mostly in the companies for which they worked during the traineeship.
