Questionnaire Entrepreneurship

EUROPEAN NETWORK ON YOUTH EMPLOYMENT
Dear friend
The questionnaire that you are about to fill is an effort of the Working Group of Entrepreneurship in the frame of
European Network on Youth Employment. The Network aspires to evolve into an active platform, which will bring
together all national and European bodies handling Youth Employment issues. The members of the Network
share the view that new approaches and cooperation at a transnational level are necessary in order to deal with
phenomena such as dropping out of school, restricted access to training, youth unemployment, a weak connection
between education/training and labor market demands, limited professional mobility, restricted access to
information, problems in reconciliation of family and professional life, etc. The Network will seek to identify and
publicize good practices, aiming at promoting solutions to the problems faced by the young.
Your opinion is very important for the new policies proposal and documentation and all data will be treated with
confidentiality.
Thank you in advance
Entrepreneurship Working Group.
The Network is co-funded by the European Union and the Republic of Cyprus
