Cluj - Future of Work

3 scenarios were developed under this project:

  • Culturepreneurs 2020, through which 60 entrepreneurs benefit from training courses and from a scholarship to develop and implement their projects;
  • Informal work through which 4 typologies were identified as being specific to the Pata Rât community: persons working in the collection and selection of waste, construction worker, skilled workers and low-skilled workers. The target is the proposal for changes in the manner of organizing the work at the level of the town by integrating the marginalized social categories;
  • Work 4.0, scenario generated by the high percentage of jobs having a high risk of automation, the aim being the facilitation of the transition to the 4.0 industry and the development of new competences for persons having jobs at a risk of disappearance due to automation.
