Two-day workshops on Career Exploration and Skill Development were held for high school students in Jalal-Abad, Kurshab (Osh region), Kadamzhai (Batken region).

During the workshops were addressed the issues of youth empowerment, career and study opportunities, motivation and discipline, and community development. The sessions and discussions on leadership and civic engagement enabled the participants to think more about their role in the development of the society they live in. Additionally, the workshops helped high school students to explore a variety of professions, find answers to their questions on future profession and study opportunities (universities, scholarships, resources for self-learning).

Young business professionals and entrepreneurs were also invited to the workshops.

And this is only the beginning of the list of students who dream and strive to become the best in different fields!

In total 115 students took part in seminars, after the completion of the project we created a network of the participants in social media in order to be in touch, share new knowledge,opportunities and advice with each other.
