The present project is the result of joint efforts of five partners representing different areas of activity: Don Orione Beneficence Charity Society (acting as a Lead Partner) is an NGO that deals with education and training of young generations, including the entrepreneurial education, AJOFM Bihor is an institution specialized in employment problems, Bekes County Chamber of Commerce and Industry is an organization representing companies' interests and a source of information and professional counselling for the private sector, Békés Megyei Kormányhivatal is a local authority that deals with the employment problems (through Department of Social Security and Employment) and Békés County Foundation for Enterprise Development which is an NGO that supports and stimulates activities for the socio-economic development of Békés County. The main objective of the project is to increase the quality of employment in the cross-border programme area by creating the framework conditions for a better exploitation of the existing talents in Bihor and Bekes counties. This objective is set as a result of a sharp analysis of the existing regional challenges in the field of labour market. The target territory of the project is still struggling with a weak economic potential, characterized by a partial lack of adequate job opportunities and a relevant rate of unemployment. Moreover, the labour market is affected in terms of mobility, competitiveness and sustainability. As a result of these factors, people living in the area often become part of a selective emigration process which is showing a growing tendency in this territory. The potential of the labor force is not fully exploited, generating a negative effect on the economic performance of the cross-border region.The labour market data from these two counties reveals a medium sized rate of unemployment, but still unable to develop a joint labour market across the border.In this context, our project intends to become a tangible answer to many of the socio-economic difficulties that unemployed citizens from this cross-border area are facing.The main result of the project will be the set-up of a network of career guidance services provided for the youngsters (and not only) from Bihor and Bekes counties which are at the beginning of their active, professional lives. These services are meant to support them in identifying a suitable career based on their skills and competences, but also by taking into consideration the existing and future trends on the labour market. At present, specialized career guidance is available in the target area, but due to the lack of resources and coordination, it is rather difficult to get access to it.The services will be provided by the partners in an integrated manner, building upon each other competences, professional experience and expertise. Hence, an essential part of the network will be the two Centers created in Oradea and Bekescsaba which, beyond their public service provider character, will represent important resource centers for career guidance in the area. The specialists of the two centers will offer a large array of support activities to the interested persons, having an instrumental role in achieving the project objectives.The activity of the Centers will be complemented by actions undertaken by the partners on various relevant topics: identification of the professions which are lacking on the labor market, so that the professional orientation is directed towards fields where there are good chances that they will be able to work; events designed to provide a detailed insight into certain professions, with the possibility to make a first contact and to experience in person certain characteristics of these occupations; provision of practical information about the entrepreneurship as an alternative to classical jobs (2 large scale job fairs, 2 joint workshops, 1 international conference, 50 communities that benefit of information and conseling services provided by a mobile office; 14 employees prepared for career guidance services; several professional trainings etc).The main target group of the project is represented primarily by pupils aged over 15 years from the two counties Bihor (17,032 pupils) and Bekes (9,361 pupils) who will benefit from a much wider range of services in the field of guidance, orientation in their career and implicitly in the choices they make in terms of professional life. Young people are the direct beneficiaries of all the activities organized within the project: career fairs, counseling and orientation, developed IT programs and platforms, competitions. In addition to the pupils, an important target group is the young graduates, the students (over 12,000 in Bihor county, there are no university education institutions in Bekes) and the young Neets - "Not in Education, Employment, or Training" (in Bihor, 1076 are registered and profiled and in Bekes, 2103). Moreover, another relevant target group are 5 univers (English)
