”Entrepreneurship Promotion in Ijevan” program launched on the initiative of the “Restart Ijevan” NGO, is in progress. Within the framework of the program, 5 girls from the community, who don’t get higher education, will get specialized in the field of confectionery. After receiving the necessary qualification as a result of the trainings, the participants of the program will get the opportunity to work in the confectionery industry.
“The idea of the program arose, when we as a team, started to notice that there are many women and girls in Ijevan, who have a great love and passion for confectionery but do not have appropriate resources and opportunities to get professional knowledge. We decided to give them the opportunity to become skilled professionals in this field within the framework of the community development program, to have their small productions, probably to work in factories or become bigger entrepreneurs in the future.” Says Vika Kharatyan, one of the initiators of the program.
Medora Asilyan, one of the participants of the programs tells, “More than 7 programs were selected, which had both educational and community nature. Through this program, we have tried to give an opportunity to young people and make them ambassadors of change. They have developed these programs by themselves looking at the problems around them. The goal was for them to start contributing to the development of their communities by themselves.”
