In addition to vocational courses planned to begin in 2020, CINF is also preparing for a series of vocational internships in Italy. These internships are offered by Italian master craftsmen to Artsakhtsi youth. Internships include cheese making, ham making, wine making, hospitality, and cosmetology. In this coming year, 10-12 Artsakhtsi will be sent to Italy to study these crafts. After completing their internships, students will be required to return to and live in Artsakh for at least 10 years where they will be encouraged to put their new skills to use in their local communities. CINF has already received more than 40 applications for these internships and is currently in the process of setting up an Artsakh-based review board.
