The corresponding agreement was signed today by the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Population Salim Muslimov and the new UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan Ghulam Isakzai.
According to Muslimov at the signing ceremony, the project aims to develop the skills of young people to search for jobs and their integration into the labor market. The concept SYSLAB regards modern methods of searching for work, business, system business, the development of office skills, and much more.
The project will last until the end of 2017, and the pilot areas will be the city of Ganja and the town of Masalli, where training for the development of the new methodology will be organized. --17D-
