PROJECT
FINISHED
The main objective of the project is to accurate diagnose challenges that young people face in the area of studies and non-formal education and prepare them to enter the labour market. Developing solutions to facilitate entry to the labour market and present the results of research and debate to decision makers responsible for different areas and issues of youth policy.
We believe that good education is a derivative of dialogue and broad cooperation aforementioned institutions and the student community. Without that, graduates of Polish universities will have a problem with taking the first job which should be corresponding with their reflects, expectations, aspirations, qualifications and dreams.
