Testing skills in the Project Passion contest

In these tough times, it’s crucial for young people to enter a tight job market with the right skills, particularly Internet skills. We’re teaming up with the European Commission to support a fun way to meet the challenge - the Project Passion contest for young people between the ages of 18 and 26.

Tell a story about how e-Skills can help get a job. Video, digital art, or just plain words are welcome. Submit entries here.

Winners will get a top cash prize of EUR2,150 euros. Travel and accommodation will be paid to winners and runners up to attend the e-Skills Week Closing Event in Copenhagen on March 30.

The contest is part of the Commission’s E-skills Week. Check out the website to find information - and other suggestions of how the Internet can help provide the jobs of tomorrow.
