Start Your Own Business Program
This project was designed taking into consideration the need of creating new job postings in all the fields, and of taking advantage of the experience and creativity of many people who are looking to become self-employed and to adapt themselves to the new circumstances of the job market.
DEEP CHANGES IN THE JOB MARKET
A business is a dynamic being; therefore, its transformation and adaptation to the growing innovation is happening at a very fast pace.
Companies have been experiencing the following changes:
- Growing flexibility
- A new idea of doing business: “disintegration” and subcontracting
- Growth of the small business and independent professionals market
- Need for a better formation and a bigger versatility for the workers and the students
- Loss of permanent jobs
- Difficult access to a first or a new job
- Temporary contracts
- Harder requirements to be hired
This is the reason why the government policies of different countries tend to develop programs for the creation of small and mid-size businesses. This way unemployment, which is a direct result of the changes suffered by the companies, can be fought.
