Dear Colleagues,

please let me introduce you the new issue of the Czech Healthy Cities Newsletter
which brings you short news and highligts, this time covering mainly
the months of June 2013. You will find here interesting info from Czech Healthy
Cities and their association.

you can use the Google Translate toolbar, which can be found on the left side
of the HCCZ web page.)

I believe that this new HCCZ Newsletter will be for you an interesting and useful
source of information and inspiration from Czech Healthy Cities, Municipalities and Regions.
Wishing you a nice summer

Employment of young people is one of the current topics in the Healthy Cities

Employment of young people and their application in the labour market are both hot issues, not only in the Healthy Cities. Do young people have sufficiency of information about the possibilities offered by the market after they finish their studies? To bring the answer to this question is the aim of round tables dedicated to the issue of employment of young people. The aim of round tables is that the young people with experts from individual fields think about the possibilities offered after the completion of studies and formulate a summary of basic information to individual areas. The following areas have been targeted as the main opportunities for young unemployed people: use of advisory services provided by the job centres, further study, retraining, own business, voluntary activity.
