Through the project “Better public policy for quality internship programmes” Belgrade Open School aims to contribute to the increase in youth employment in Serbia through improvement of the regulatory framework for the organisation of internship programmes.

Creating regulatory framework and the procedures for quality internship programmes is in accordance with the education reforms related to the harmonisation of education and labour market through improvement of practical skills of young people.

Through this project, BOS team will conduct policy analysis regarding the regulatory framework for internship programmes. Furthermore, the dialogue between policy makers in the area of employment and education will be encouraged in order to raise awareness about the importance of harmonisation between procedures for organising internships in Serbia and EU standards for quality internships.

The project is implemented by the Career Guidance and Counselling Centre of Belgrade Open School from 20 July 2015 to 20 December 2015. The project is funded by the Solidar Suisse – Office in Serbia.
