Long-Term Alumni Career Projects
AZU – Activity Brings Success
"The national development AZU project (slk. Aktivita zvyšuje úspech/Activity increases success) has been created to help university alumni find work. We believe that everything can be done better, more responsibly and, thus, be made more transparent than ever before. Our aim is to enable students view things in an utterly different perspective. We believe that everybody can make a living, provided they have been given adequate education and sufficient information."

EURES has an important role in cross-border regions. EURES advisers offer help and advice, including the rights and obligations of workers, who live in one country and work in another."
