Build your future through internships! — CONPrACT

The general objective of the project aims to improve the labour market insertion process for 150 students registered in the higher education system in the West Development Region in 2017-2019, by acquiring the skills needed to integrate and maintain on a modern, flexible and dynamic labor market, as well as increasing their adaptability to the job requirements. The general objective of the project will be achieved through the integrated approach of internships with the help of individualised and group career counseling. Through this project we aim to review the way of organising the services of guidance and professional counseling of students, in order to be able to respond effectively to the needs of the students’ professional guidance. At the same time, reconfiguring the process of organising internships is necessary, not only for students to be able to develop their work skills, but also for the University not to remain a closed circuit with a marginal role in the process of integrating students into society. On the contrary, high-quality higher education is the one that provides a well-trained, qualified and able to cope with global competitiveness, which characterises the ever-changing society in which we live. Thus, competitiveness is directly determined by the level of education and the quality of professional training of the human resource. Through the project, the improvement actions at the level of higher education institutions will be directly reflected on the quality of the educational training process from which the target group benefits, thus contributing to the development of human capital, increasing the relevance of education to the labour market being indicated by POCU as a major objective of educational policies and is an integral part of achieving the objectives set for achieving the Europe 2020 strategy. The project includes 4 specific activities and 1 transversal activity, which will contribute to supporting the student’s transition from school to active life through: improving the counseling and professional guidance of students with a technical profile (construction, chemistry and engineering); improvement, planning, realisation and monitoring of internships. These services will be focused on increasing the relevance of practical learning outcomes acquired in the workplace within the internships. It is desirable that the measures proposed by this project will lead to an increase in the employment rate of young graduates of university studies and increase the quality in the practical training of students so that they can maintain their job for a long time. Besides aligning with the objectives set for Priority Axis 6, Investment Priority 10.iv POCU, this project proposal is complementary and relevant to the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Romania Ori
