4th In-Home Training at AASKM – Promoting Short Study Programs to Young Entrepreneurs

On October 16, 2025, the Academy of Applied Studies Kosovo and Metohija (AASKM) organized its fourth in-home training within the Erasmus+ WBNET project (Network of Centers for Regional Short Study Programs in the Countries of the Western Balkans). The event was held in Gračanica, primarily targeting young entrepreneurs and members of the local community interested in developing their professional and digital competencies.

Building on the knowledge and experiences exchanged during the WBNET project meeting and training activities in Madrid, the AASKM project team presented the concept, objectives, and opportunities offered by the newly developed short study programs. Particular attention was given to training opportunities in digital business, internet security, and modern multimedia tools, emphasizing their practical application in entrepreneurship and the changing labour market.

The workshop also provided an opportunity to discuss the importance of lifelong learning, flexible education, and stronger cooperation between higher education institutions and the local business community. Participants were encouraged to explore how short study programs could contribute to their professional development and entrepreneurial activities.

The event gathered 29 participants, including 18 male and 11 female participants. Their participation and interest highlighted the relevance of the WBNET project in promoting accessible, practice-oriented education and supporting entrepreneurship and skills development in the region.
