2020. Besides the improvement of cross-border employment rate, the actions will also make an important contribution towards the horizontal principle of sustainable development through contributing to the inclusive development and increasing accessibility of disadvantaged groups, and to territorial attractiveness of these areas. In this sense, CBC-EMPLOYMENT aims at promoting entrepreneurial and employment policy by increasing quality of services in these fields and by creating a major positive impact at the level of Oradea, Bihor County and Hajduboszormeny.
The entrepreneurial and employment policy on both sides of the border face common problems. The project is starting from real deficiencies of all PPs consisting in lack of or poor entrepreneurial skills that lead to low employment rate. LP will create an innovative entrepreneurial center that will be used by all PPs in order to improve the entrepreneurial skills of the persons from the target group.
The Municipality of Oradea has the role of supporting hiring, and in the last 10 years it has created a lot of jobs through industrial policy, entrepreneurial policy but also through education policy. In this sense,it increased employability and employment rate through creating industrial parks and investing in educational infrastructure.

County Agency for Employment Bihor - PP4 activates on the labor market in Bihor County from 1998 in order to increase the employment rate, respectively for the working age population (15-64 years old).
All PPs indentifyed a high level of labor supply, in accordance with local/county/national/global development strategies, that needs to be covered with different measures for employment. In this context, the main challenges approached by CBC-EMPLOYMENT project are related to the combining of policies and investments tools at the level of the involved local authorities that would facilitate the entrepreneurial and employment policy. This project is characterized by relevant partners in entrepreneurial and employment field and in this case we can speak of an innovative partnership for entrepreneurship development in order to become an example of good practice at the local, national, and EU level.
Cross-border cooperation and its positive benefits are recognized and promoted by all relevant strategies regarding the territorial cohesion both at the EU level and at the level of Romania and Hungary, enabling communities on both sides of the border to transform the border into a possibility for development.
The project was developed jointly by all partners, on the basis of their most important needs, each partner, being involved actively in the generation and development of the project idea. Each PP contributes to the implementation of all the activities packages. The main outputs and results that will be attained through CBC-EMPLOYMENT project are related to the Supporting employment - friendly growth in Oradea, Bihor County and Hajduboszormeny and creating new entrepreneurial and employment facilities: 3 entrepreneurial and employment facilities (Entrepreneurship Centre Oradea, Inclusive Entrepreneurship Centre Hajduboszormeny and Mobile Entrepreneurship Centre for PP2) and several employment initiatives, such as thematic trainings for LP, PP2 and PP3 and specific information briefings organized by all PPs.
