CONTEXT The project idea comes from an initiative derived from the needs identified firstly by the coordinating school and afterwards discussed with other partner schools. The main analysis has shown that lots of students are not prepared well enough to launch and promote their own trade in the virtual space. Some of our graduates do not find a job soon after graduation, due to their poor knowledge of how to make themselves visible on the job market nowadays. PARTICIPANTS Our project addresses itself to students coming from different range of specializations: food service industry, hospitality, agriculture, tourism, transports, sports field, catering and services; all in their pre-terminal years of study, all between 15-18 years old. Out of 220 students (our target group), 110 will directly participate in the transnational LTTAs, as a result of a fair and transparent selection process.
