Local company, DNA Communication, created program for initiating their own business for employees in more than 500 companies which have entered restructuring program, Dejan Randjic, founder of the DNA agency, said for Tanjug.

Program called "Chance for new beginning", which will be implemented in the next 18 months, DNA designed with the Serbian Association of Managers (SAM) and with great support of the American agency for international development (USAID), Randjic mentioned.

The objective of the program " Chance for new beginning " is to show those people, some 20.000 to 30.000, how they can use their knowledge in the best way possible, their work they have invested in themselves and society and to use reimbursements (EUR 8000 maximum) to provide their job, Randjic explained.

Apart from talking to these people in the next 18 months, DNA will offer elementary education on how to start one’s own business because it is not likely that these people had experience with private entrepreneurship, a collocutor said for Tanjug.

Randjic said that the need for business is not the same in Nis and Subotica and added that the program objective is to decrease business risk with these people as starters in private business.

It is very important they will be given forecast, i.e. return on investment in their own business, Randjic said.

The objective is to turn this ending of difficult process into a new chance, to generate vacancy, earn years of service until retirement and therefore the program is called Chance for new beginning, Randjic said.
