Young Professionals Network (YPN) was formally established on January 2020 by a group of young, motivated professionals coming from different working backgrounds such as economic, environment, media, IT, education, science, and NGOs. However, this group has
been informally operating since 2019. The network has been created as a result of the challenges identified in the Albanian society such as: the need of youth to cooperate more to share skills and opportunities among each other and the challenges faced on the labor market
that indicate migration as well
The mission of Young Professionals Network is empowering young professionals by increasing their participation in the economic, political and social life towards the sustainable development of the country.
