The first training course on Basic Computer Skills commenced on 7^th and 8^th of November 2026 at the GreenSkills CoWorking HUB in Kakanj. The course is organised by the Centre for Education and Research Nahla in cooperation with the Municipality of Kakanj, within the framework of the SteelCityZen project. The training will run until 12^th of December 2026 and comprises a total of 32 teaching hours.

A total of 24 participants from Kakanj and the surrounding area are currently attending the training, divided into two groups to ensure quality instruction and more effective learning. The strong interest in this programme highlights the importance of accessible educational opportunities that enable citizens to improve their digital competencies and acquire skills applicable in both everyday life and the professional environment.

Throughout the training, participants will have the opportunity to enhance and consolidate their knowledge of computers and modern digital tools. The programme includes practical work with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, the use of the internet, email and cloud technologies, organising online meetings via Zoom and Google Meet, as well as personal data protection in the digital environment and the use of artificial intelligence tools.

This training course is the first of seven educational programmes to be delivered at the GreenSkills CoWorking HUB as part of the SteelCityZen project. The programmes are intended for unemployed individuals, as well as employed people who wish to improve their existing knowledge, acquire new skills and expand their professional competencies. Their aim is to develop business and digital skills, create new opportunities for professional development and strengthen participants' competitiveness in the labour market.

In addition to Basic Computer Skills, other planned training programmes will cover the following areas: basic graphic design using Canva, social media marketing, bookkeeping for sole proprietors, communication and organisational skills with a particular focus on assertive communication, as well as job search training and career counselling.

Through the SteelCityZen project, the Municipality of Kakanj continues to expand opportunities for education, skills development and lifelong learning. An important part of this effort is the GreenSkills CoWorking HUB, a newly equipped space furnished with modern furniture, IT equipment and other essential resources through the project. Designed to foster learning, collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and experiences, the HUB provides an inspiring environment for training, networking and professional development, helping individuals build the skills and competencies needed to meet the demands of today's labour market.
