The third phase of the implementation continued among the youngsters from Kamza and Bathore, mainly based in the youth center of “ATA” group. We had the possibility to start the project from the beginning with the youngster from ATA, following the first sessions on the basic knowledge on how to prepare their portfolio before applying for an interview, reviewing their motivation letter, role playing on verbal and non-verbal communication during an interview and continuing with individual coaching.
