Based on the current circumstances caused by
the novel Coronavirus, the theoretical part of the training program for kindergarten
teacher assistants in Zugdidi have been moved online and will take place in
cooperation with the vocational college “Zugdidi Academy.” The practical part of
well as the paid internship will start immediately after stabilization of the
situation.

The program will give young people relevant
professional skills and knowledge to increase their employability and career options.

The kindergarten teacher assistants’ program
is implemented as part of the EU-funded project “EU4Youth – Enhancing Youth Education,
Employment and Participation in Conflict-affected Areas in Georgia and
Ukraine.” The initiative aims to widen education, employment, and
entrepreneurial opportunities for internally displaced persons and
conflict-affected youth and encourages their significant participation in the
community. In Georgia, it is implemented by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC)
and the Education Development and Employment Center (EDEC).
