Pupils from “Gjergj Canco” and ” 26 Marsi” high schools discussed on the possibilities of implementing their professions with access to “green jobs”, as well as the needs and difficulties they may encounter as young entrepreneurs. They were trained in writing a business plan, in line with market needs, effective management, marketing and competition. Also, the “Young Entrepreneur Groups” were created with pupils who presented their project ideas about the creation of “Smart City” to be implemented in two models. Eco Albania will encourage young entrepreneur groups to be active even after the completion of the project, initiating a possible future business cooperation.
