Training places for disadvantaged young people in Romania

The CONCORDIA EduCampus in Ploiesti, about 60 km north of Bucharest, Romania combines a vocational school with an apprenticeship residence and a primary school. Socially disadvantaged children and young people receive holistic and diverse educational opportunities, training opportunities and a comprehensive range of social and psychological care.

By financing several training places for socially disadvantaged young people, the Beurer Foundation supports the CONCORDIA Vocational School, thus offering young adults a chance for independence and economic independence.

In the vocational school, the young people receive practical training for their professions as cook, waiter, baker, farmer and can live in the adjacent apprentice residence. In addition, the young people receive socio-pedagogical support and are prepared for the job market as part of the job coaching programme.
The support covers the following areas of development: school and vocational training, accommodation, social and psychological support, personal skills and employability, as well as leisure and extracurricular activities. The training programme lasts 10 months.
