Annually, the faculties within the Polytechnic University of Bucharest count around 3500 graduates who then enter the labor market.

Although since 2019 there has been an increase on the Romanian market in terms of the percentage of ICT specialists, according to the DESI 2020 report, they represent a much lower proportion of the workforce than in the EU as a whole (2.2% compared to a EU average of 3.9). In contrast, our country has good results in terms of ICT graduates, ranking 5th among Member States, with 5.6% of all college graduates from this field.

The signing of this Memorandum will support the evolution of the young generations, essential for the development of Romania and the creation of a productive economic environment in the context of accelerated globalization.
