Open competition "Start for a job" - Deadline: 29.2.2016.

For the seventh year in a row, 100 promising entrepreneurial ideas will have the opportunity to be realized as part of the national competition START A JOB, thanks to the support of the Philip Morris company. START A JOB helps people with a good and sustainable business idea to start or improve their own small business, all with the aim of reducing unemployment and encouraging people to venture into entrepreneurial waters. Entrepreneurship is the main driver of economic progress in Europe and the world, and it is recognized as a key link for economic recovery in Serbia. "Several thousands of people who apply to our competition every year are the best indicator that there is a lot of entrepreneurial spirit in Serbia, but people need support and encouragement. They need a lot of courage and faith in their own ideas, and our program helps them acquire the necessary equipment and receive adequate training and advisory assistance, in order to better prepare for the fierce market competition. The fact that we are in over the past six years, through the GET STARTED FOR A JOB program, we have helped start 490 small and family businesses, thus providing employment for more than 1,500 people, and that all these companies are still operating successfully, they are the best incentive for all those who are considering whether to apply for the GET A JOB competition," said Jelena Preradović Stevanović from the Philip Morris company, and added: "I would invite all those interested to get to know more about the experiences of our entrepreneurs from the past of the program cycle on the program website href="http://www.pokrenisezaposao.rs/" target="_blank" id="">www.pokrenisezaposao.rs as well as on social networks using #Stisni petlju and #PokreniPosao. I am sure that they will find useful advice and get answers to the many questions that are common to all entrepreneurs who are just starting to develop their business ideas". POKRENI SE ZA PASAO is implemented by the non-governmental organization ENECA, and the importance and good results of the competition in the past six years have ensured the support of a large number of partners. Thus, this year too, the National Employment Service, as one of the key partners, through its network of branches and offices, will inform unemployed persons and help them apply for the POKRENI program SE ZA PASAO.The seventh annual SE ZA PASAO competition will last until February 29, 2016.
