This research examines how ICT training programs in Kosova are reshaping the nation’s employment landscape, academic career paths, and gender inclusivity. It finds that accredited, long-term training initiatives—characterized by curricula updated every six months and a strong practical focus—are more effective in preparing youth for immediate job placement than traditional, slower-adapting university programs. While short-term courses offer early exposure to technology and help build foundational skills, they may also lead to overconfidence and a premature exit from formal academic pursuits. The study also highlights that targeted, women-focused initiatives have significantly improved female participation in ICT, although workplace biases and societal norms continue to pose challenges. Ultimately, the report calls for stronger public-private partnerships and integrated strategies to sustain and enhance the impact of ICT training on Kosova’s labor market and broader socio-economic development.
