The New Beginning project

Project

The New Beginning project

To bolster its economy and meet EU accession requirements, Serbia must restructure and privatise many of its state-owned enterprises. The Serbian Government’s program for companies in the restructuring process encompasses more than 500 companies in different phases of privatization. It is expected that approximately 30,000 workers will accept the program and take the severance pay (maximum amount 8,000 EUR). “The New Beginning” is an 18-month project implemented by Serbian Association of Managers (SAM) and DNA Communications. The activity will focus on regions with the largest numbers of laid-off workers and will motivate them to use their knowledge and resources to start their own business. The experiences of the previous severance programs clearly show that redundant workers have a lack of knowledge about how to start their own businesses and about entrepreneurship. This project will give them an opportunity for a “new beginning” by starting their own business.
