  Creative Minds Create Work Opportunities

  Organisation: Municipal Public Library "Miladinovci Brothers" Countries: Macedonia

These people go through the training for basic computer skills and interactive looking for work. In a time when the local community is battling with unemployment, people turn to the libraries as places they believe could help them with information and other services. In a period when even the libraries are facing budget restrictions, the employees in the Radovish library, answer the challenge with great energy by developing strategies for surpassing the problem. The library, as a service for the citizens, is accessible to citizens of different eprofiles and it is in a position to help with this problem of the local community: the exchange of knowledge and skill building of the unemployed persons is being promoted, so they become competitive on the labour market. www.bibliotekradovis.org.mk
