The needs of the regional labour market always be considered superficially, i.e. taking up work is always the most obvious target. The partner organizations have indicated their willingness to maintain long-term contacts and cooperation structures in the partner countries built up during the project. Through transnational networking will transfer the project results also by other European countries and supported by the free movement in the European labour market.
