Various actors who have roles and responsibilities in the perspective of creating an enabling environment that promotes the employment of young people as a whole and students in particular became part of these tables, specifically the Career Departments at the respective Universities, university lecturers, representatives from the structures of the respective Municipalities, Labor Offices, as well as students who are part of Debate Clubs. At each of the tables, models of national and local practices were presented by experts in the field, while students and participants addressed the challenges they face to make national and local policies applicable to every student. The tables highlighted the need to redimension the role and commitment of Career Departments in Universities from the point of view of informing students about the spaces that actually exist to enable a quick integration in the labor market.
