PAPI Pătârlagele will work as a Youth Support Centre after winning 5,000 Lei worth of financing from the Buzău County Council. The project was created in partnership with a local NGO, Asociaţia Sudcarpatică (Sub-Carpathian Association), and will cover costs for buying a A3 copying machine, consumables, administrative expenses and personnel expenses.
“Youth will be assisted in writing the documentation for financing, opening businesses, filing for unemployment benefits”, Pătârlagele RECL manager Constantin Mircică explains, adding that young beneficiaries will also attended a basic IT training in partnership with the EOS Foundation in Timişoara, which implements Microsoft software. For people who want to become specialised a course accredited by the CNFPA will be offered, also as part of the partnership – “Text and image processing operator”, which will span dozens of hours of training.
