What is the goal of these encounters?
These encounters encourage young people to continue their studies and make their dreams come true. They help them understand that success requires work, perseverance and determination. They are also an opportunity to build closer ties between schools and businesses by providing students and teachers better information about the job market and businesspeople an understanding of the reality of these young people, who are the next generation.
