What is the “Festival of Skills, Career and Work Expo 2023”?
The Festival of Skills, Career and Work 2023 is planned to take place over three days, on 13-15 December, 2023, in Expocity Albania. At this fair, jobseekers meet with company representatives and gain access to a range of services, such as databases, advice on employment or human resource management, information on training offers and above all, information on job vacancies. During three days, a great exchange of information between job seekers and potential employers will be enabled, in a single place, significantly reducing the cost of job search and recruitment. The festival will also highlight that investing in the right skills is key to growing the economy.
