Our Lifelong Learning Programme – Leonardo da Vinci project Act Your Job! received the Quality Award – International Cooperation from the Tempus Public Foundation in 2015.
“One peculiarity of the project is that it was implemented by—besides the Hungarian foundation school—two universities and a labour centre, and therefore they could consider various aspects when developing the skills needed to start work or to find employment. The students involved could gain self-confidence and have become more conscious, which can increase the number of successful job seekers and reduce the number of young people who are dissatisfied with their jobs”
