YEREVAN, March 15. / ARKA /. Armenia’s ministry of sport and youth affairs will conduct trainings in several Armenian provinces in autumn as part of a program to help young people outside the capital to obtain new skills, David Hayrapetian, head of the ministry’s center to implement youth projects, told ARKA.
“The goal of the program is to help young people in regions get new skills. We have already carried out similar activities, including trainings, in some regions of Armenia, more exactly in Tavush and Lori, which attracted about 80 young people," Hayrapetyan said.
According to him, this year the ministry intends to expand this project and invite experts from different countries, who will teach the young participants how to communicate with employers.
"Initially, we conducted only job fairs, but in 2012 we added also training courses. We intend to conduct also a round table with the participation of experts from CIS ", he said.
"Of course, there are employment problems for young people in the capital as well, but in the regions the program is more important," he said.
According to Hayrapetyan, the ministry may cooperate in this matter with Russian Rossotrudnichestvo, a state agency promoting Russia’s cultural ties with the rest of the world. -0-
