Women in Novi Pazar are gaining new opportunities to enter the labor market through the international project “StarWomen – Training for Women through Simulations.” The initiative, carried out in seven countries, helps participants strengthen their confidence, emotional resilience, and digital skills.
Petinka Mincheva, a former kindergarten assistant, is among the women who joined the program. “I enrolled to find a better job and to learn new things—like how to be more self-confident and in control of my emotions,” she shared.
According to Galina Mincheva from the association “I Want to Know,” the project introduces innovative training methods, such as “Photovoice,” which empowers women to actively pursue job opportunities.
A key focus of the training is digital literacy, ensuring participants are better prepared for today’s labor market and have faster access to employment opportunities.
