EU Project Interns

The New Turn
with the Interns

Quality Training; ICK’s menu is abundant with such skill improving cocktails.
What makes it so good is not only the overall rarity of the courses presented
to the general public; the professionals involved and the experience earned
cracks opportunities once never even considered. How, you ask?
Ask our interns!
In generous collaboration with the EU funded project “Training and Education
with Marketable ICT Skills for Employment and Self-employment in Kosovo”,
the Innovation Centre Kosovo got to show the employed side of earned skills
to training participants from Prizren and Prishtina and increase their prospect
of evolving the field of ICT in Kosovo.
There are plenty of things a person can dream of growing up to be.
Few of them however are accessible to young dreamers in Kosovo from the
lack of variety and resources. Until today
With multiple training courses offered to students from vocational education
High Schools “11 Marsi” in Prizren and “Gjin Gazulli” in Prishtina pursuing new
creative skill sets, testimonials of such experiences made not only great
examples of functional and creative courses but also the opportunities
blossoming from them!
.
Students spent 3 months absorbing expertise through internships
post-training and a majority of them ended up becoming fully employed
awesome-sauce individuals!

Ask Graphic Design students.
For instance. College freshmen Arbra Shala previously
interning at D-Marketing, Valdrin Pacolli now at Çetin,
Besart Bahtiri now at Jiroo SHPK, Rinesa Krasniqi
previously interning at Grafika, Medina Statovci
previously at Erris Veliu BI and Florent Gashi now at Te
Pazari, all together in a classroom for weeks learning
about the intricacies of design and how it affects
viewers and promotes creative approach to the work
done in any field.
“I learned more in a few courses than I
have in a year of school” reviews Arbra
with adjoining students agreeing that
the experience has led them to become
bolder, more socially open and even
gain a career interest in Graphic
Design. Florent added “The staff
treated you wonderfully; both
challenging you to become more ept
but also treating you as an equal”.

Valdrin and Medina both related that
“The anxiety felt on the first day instantly went away when the people at
the office showed you how fun a work environment can be as well as
inspirationally creative”.
Creativity goes hand in hand with the technical aspect of things. It all looks
like jargon until you explore, spend time observing seasoned workers
impart their wisdom on it and prove yourself to dominate that job! That is
exactly what students of Web Design and Programming did!

Melisa Berisha previously interning at Adaptech, Albiona Ahmeti previously
interning at Enchele, Dren Kelmendi previously interning at APPbites and
Arlind Ramadani now at ClleanCode, got to hone their craft alongside
professional established companies and gain both experience and moments of
treasured advice.
“Not only were resources provided to us, but helpful tips of work
etiquette and workmanship that helped us feel less paralyzed in front
of adulthood and its expectations” commented Arlind with Melisa
adding that “ It helped my work go from good to wonderful and
something I can be genuinely proud of every time I go back to it.
Knowing the things I do now and having the opportunities opened in
front of me makes me feel like there’s nothing I cannot try!”
“Personally, to know that people have my back
and that a door is always open for me, is the
ultimate mark of a healthy workplace and work
table for me to express myself” wrapped up
Albiona in her experience at her internship.
Perhaps Design and
programming are all well and
good, but what about
promotional content? Ah, the
effort never goes amiss as proven
by Ardit Jashari now at
Kosipmedia and Dion Elezi now
at Jiroo.
The industry of hard and creative
work requires a lot more
diligence in social media, in turn
helping these students
comprehend and create quality
content for the best platform to
showcase the company’s
contribution.
“A friendly atmosphere, wisdom and lots of skills intensified. My kinda thing”
remarked Dion along with Ardit saying that “It was helpful, fun and I got to
understand what it feels like to be responsible for a task and become reliable at
work”.
Hard work is always paid off with earned reward. With dedicated time to training,
enthusiastic effort given as an intern and due diligence exposing their potential and
finding their niche, students are starting a new chapter of their life well into
adulthood. By experiencing new things with new people, they become the best they
can be at their passion and find their proper path in both their career and life.

Courses like those and many more are offered to
those willing to learn. If skill and desire overcome the
urge to doodle in class, the student is met with a
chance of a lifetime to assist at an established
workplace and set new expectations for a better
education, better career path and better maintenance
to their ultimate skills!
