Since July 1999, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), at the request of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and the Kosovo Force (KFOR), has undertaken the implementation of the Information Counselling and Referral Service (ICRS) which aimed to provide support mechanisms for demobilised Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) combatants in their return to post-conflict society. This paper explores the vocational training aspect of the reintegration strategy in Kosovo. It presents an outline of demographic and socio-economic characteristics of former KLA combatants. Having explored the former combatants' perspectives on vocational training courses, the analysis is carried out through a human resource perspective with a specific reference to identification and taxonomy of skills, and policy application for effective utilisation of human resources. Finally, the paper concludes with a set of lessons learnt from the vocational training experience of former combatants in Kosovo
