In January 2017 the IB started the new EU project "Fit for the Future - Inclusion of Roma into the Labour Market" in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The project is a follow-up measure of the "Enhancing Employability of Women in Minority Communities through Profiling/Assessment, Training Programmes and Job Counselling" successfully implemented by the IB from 2012-2014. It is the objective of the project to support young Roma people to participate in education and training measures. The IB is enhancing the macedonian partner organisation to build up capacities in the fields of social work, socio-pedagogical support and education, as well as vocational orientation and counseling and to train job coaches.
