Dozens of young people attended at Predeal a seminar that is part of a project financed with European funds( Despre Tine, Pentru Viitorul Tau!- About You, For Your Future) that aims to increase the employability and labor market insertion, through involving, outside of compulsory education plan, young high school students and students with non-economic profile of the firms and training courses.

The project is conducted in 3 regions: Bucharest - Ilfov Region, Central Region: Alba, Brasov and Sibiu counties and Southern-Eastern Region: counties of Constanta, Galati and Tulcea, for a period of three years (2010-2013).

Among the projects entered in the competition are included food business, as the production of honey and derivatives thereof; business of pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, projects that increase vipers for venom, business services, as well as tour operators or organizing events and video games.
In judging the performance of teams were taken into account also the results obtained previously by teams through topics and courses they had attended during the project.

For four days, the seminary prepared the pupils and students for the final stage of the competition, respectively for presenting projects to the jury.

The young people learned what a presentation means, how to overcome their emotions, how to deal with questions, how to present their financial plan and how to better promote their business idea in front of potential investors.
