SPECIFICATIONS:

We would like to innitiate similar projects in other Transylvanian towns in the next years, because of the increased popularity of such students' centers.

Creating workshops for specific activities will lead us to the achievement of our long time purpose, namely the unemployment prevention among the young people through very diverse possibilities.

The establishment of the consulting and placement network for youth in the Transylvania region will strengthen the fight against  the youth unemployment issues.

We estimate that after implementation of this project, the activity will be self-supported due to the companies' fees, participation tax to JOB Shop, donations and sponsorships.
