What’s working • Economic growth • State employment agency’s initiatives (5.5k people) 3. 80 m EU budget funds
What isn’t • Re-emigration • Vocational education • Work – study environment • Regional differences • Lack of self-confidence • Language knowledge
Where to go Risk: be among 20% of long-term unemployed State provided options: • competitiveness boosting courses • career consultations • voluntary work • vocational education
Suggestions • Curbing youth unemployment: * hands-on experience while studying * vocational education reform * regions ≠ poverty 2. Transnational solidarity * Active vs passive reemigration policy 3. EU Charter * Avoiding the ‘lost generation’ 4. Role of Europe * Youth Guarantee: get them know about it
