The aim of the project is to improve their position and opportunities in the modern dynamic labor market, which is greatly influenced by globalization. In doing so, special emphasis was placed on self-employment activities and encouraging one's own entrepreneurial activities, primarily through some of the key forms of alternative financing, primarily crowdfunding. The implementation of the project will be realized through various forms of scientific and educational activities that will enable the NEET population to access the knowledge and skills necessary for non-adjustment of living standards and achieving competitiveness in the labor market.
