New Coca-Cola Youth Empowerment Initiative in BiH 2025: Shaping Your Future

The Coca-Cola Youth Empowerment program in Bosnia and Herzegovina has launched a fresh, updated edition this spring. Through three carefully designed new modules, young people across BiH now have the opportunity to acquire essential skills and knowledge for a better future – whether starting their careers or seeking advancement.

The new modules, available on the Leap Academy platform https://bit.ly/NOVO_CCPM2025, focus on vital skills for personal and professional development: "Mentoring – The Shortcut to Success", "Lateral Thinking", and "Smart with Money – Financial Literacy for Youth."

Three Modules, Three Keys to Modern Success: Expert Instructors and Practical Knowledge

Through the module "Mentoring – The Shortcut to Success", Ivona Misimović, a certified business coach with extensive leadership and team coaching experience, introduces participants to the values of mentorship based on trust, empowerment, and experience sharing.

The "Lateral Thinking" module, led by Nermin Zejnilović, an expert in creative thinking and business innovation, empowers participants to develop creative and unconventional problem-solving skills.

The "Smart with Money" module introduces youth to personal finance, helping them develop a healthy relationship with money and make responsible financial decisions. Nela Kačmarčik Maduna, Ph.D. in economics and former UN official, has prepared a free, simple workbook titled "My Plan for Financial Freedom".

Participants can follow the modules at their own pace, with video lessons, practical assignments, and inspiring stories providing real tools they can immediately apply. After completing all three modules, participants can download a certificate of participation, helpful for job or internship applications.

For whom is the program designed for?

The program is designed for young individuals aged 18–35 but is open to anyone seeking new knowledge and opportunities. Special focus remains on empowering NEET youth (not in employment, education, or training) to gain key skills for employment, self-employment, and better positioning in the labor market.

Seven years of empowering, thousands of participants

Over the past seven years, Coca-Cola’s Youth Empowerment program in BiH has provided growth opportunities to nearly 5,000 young people.

“Our mission remains clear – to support and empower young people by equipping them with the tools they need for a more independent and successful career start. Knowledge and support change lives, and the success of our previous participants is proof of that," says Aleksandra Todorović, Customer and Community Relations Manager at Coca-Cola HBC Adria.
