Moreover, JEUNE will provide data and also distribute the survey in respect to information from the side of enterprises where additional information from the employer’s perspective is needed.

JEUNE as a European association of small enterprises will also contribute in the development of models for integrated placements with the point of view of enterprises, especially regarding conditions and time span of international placements in enterprises

They will support the dissemination of the results using the communication infrastructure of their networks actively involved in the mobility scheme and permanently verify the possibilities to promote the results in the LLP and beyond.
