LUPT project has been launched

SMART Development Center from Galati, together with the Young Entrepreneurs Association from the South – East Region of Romania (YEAR-SE), have launched the project Mobile Center for Occupation and Professional Training in Non-agricultural Activities – One Step Next to You! (LUPT/FIGHT).

During almost two years, we will be facilitating the integration of unemployed residents from rural areas on the labor market, as well as farmers and inactive persons from the South – East region of Romania. We will be implementing an innovative concept called “Mobile center for occupation and professional training in non-agricultural fields.”

The objectives of the project are to train and employ the target group in non-agricultural activities, help them start new businesses and apply for Community funding. Also, here at YEAR-SE, we want to generate at least one success story, training an entrepreneur from a rural area, assisting him/her establish a start-up firm, applying for funding, winning the grant and implementing the project.

LUPT (FIGHT) is a project funded by the European Commission through the Human Resources Operational Program.
