TIRANA, September 11 /ATA/ Minister of Economy, Culture and Innovation Blendi Gonxhja participated today in the certificate distribution event for trainees who have successfully completed the course at the ATC Professional Institute, one of the most elite and important professional training centers in the Western Balkans.

Gonxhja emphasized that about 17 thousand young people, or 10% more compared to last year, are currently enrolled in vocational education.

"And each of them finds it easier to get a job than their peers with higher or secondary education", said the minister.

Addressing the young people, Gonxhja said that, "Our main obligation as a state is that as soon as you enter your first job, you have a formalized situation".

"Having a situation that awaits you with a decent salary and Albania being the first alternative you should have", he said. /m.m/a.f-/p.s./
