Experience & Discover
Experience & Discover RomaniaCauses of youth unemployment:
• Increased requirement of working experience even for entry-level jobs;
• Increasing requirements (foreign language skills, communication skills, IT skills, foreign experience)
• Lack of employment dynamics (seniority beats skills)
• Lower attractiveness/interest of/in unqualified jobs (degree not required)
• Under-developed educational programs for arts & crafts
• Job offer-related corruption and nepotism
• Job offer discrepancies between regions and rural and urban areas (chance inequality)
• Brain-drain phenomenon (eg. Romanian as the second language spoken at Microsoft, Google, NASA)
• Low long-term public investment in education & inadequate educational programs

Look for profit opposed to re-investment in education
A. Increase awareness of arts & crafts
1. Governmental Educational Program for primary school consisting in the introduction of arts & crafts related subjects and a mentoring program for pupils in last year of study before high school
• Mentoring program: compulsory class consisting in career advising by professionals from a wide area of industries & services
2. Increase the demand for arts & crafts high schools by investing in the level of human and physical capital of those schools, complemented by national level awareness programs.
A. Increase of awareness of arts & crafts (cont’d)
• Target group: primary school youngsters (11-15 years old)
• Life span: each academic year (Sept-June); program will exist until reaching a balance between graduates of theoretical and arts & crafts high-schools
• Outcome: increase of awareness and interest of youngsters in arts & crafts
B. Youth Start-Ups
A national level program initiated by the government with the use of EU funds concerning start-ups for university and arts & crafts graduates acting in different industries.
• Each start-up will be initiated by university top graduates (medium and high level management of the start-up) mentored by university professors and professionals. The vast majority of the start-ups employees will be selected from arts & crafts schools.

Filling the
gap
• Increase awareness & interest+ Gov. investments
• Increase arts & crafts work offers (balancing with huge offer of high level education graduates)
• Better response of the job offer to the job demand => work market stability
• Creating jobs in all industries
Planned Results And Outcome
• Our project proposes a big plan split in 2 parts which can take place at the same time
First part: A. Increase awareness of arts and crafts
Continuous project; increase the demand for arts & crafts schools
KPIs: - increase the number of scholars that follow arts & crafts schools by 25% in the next 2 years
- reach 40% graduates from arts & crafts schools out of overall graduates number
- media campaign through all channels in order to increase arts & crafts schools visibility
Second part: B. Youth start-up
Continuous project; create partnerships for developing start-ups
KPIs: - reach a no. of 50 start-ups/year at national level
- impose a no. of at least 5 full-time employees per start-up under 25 years old at the start moment
- 60% of the employees (management excluded) must be arts & crafts graduates
- reach a no. of 60% of survival start-ups after 3 years
Global KPI: - number of employed arts & crafts graduates divided by total number of arts & crafts graduates more than 65%
