"Unfortunately, education curricula place too much emphasis on theory, which means that students encounter problems when they enter the labour market. Their education must be provided more on the basis of a practical perspective and dealing with real problems encountered in the economic environment. This is why I believe that relations between the academic and business worlds need to be strengthened. In addition, universities need to be more receptive to the business world so that they can better adapt their education offering to the labour market’s demands. This will enable students to acquire the qualifications and develop the skills required by employers. A number of Member States, such as France, Germany, Italy, the UK or Spain, have been developing partnerships between universities and the business world for a number of years. In Romania last year, a project was launched with European Union funding, which involved 20 faculties receiving new curricula adapted to the labour market’s current requirements. One of the project’s major benefits is that it cuts unemployment by improving the quality of the educational offering and reduces the number of graduates with degrees which cannot be adapted to the labour market. These partnerships must not be confined just to within individual Member States. In the current situation, I support the promotion and extension of the Erasmus programmes for young entrepreneurs and for trainees."@en1
