„I found this online activity, part of the Skills for Success in Career and Business project, to be very useful, interesting and topical, as it helps students become the adults of the future. As a teacher, I really liked the format of the presentation and its content, and the practical activity gave us teachers and the participating students the opportunity to discover who we are, what we are like and what our predominant personality type is." – Teacher, Mihail Kogalniceanu Economic College, Focsani

„I think the Girls in Tech mentoring program, part of the Skills for Success in Career and Business project, is really amazing, because, besides the wealth of information it provides, it is also a great way to discover people who are very supportive, making it a pleasant learning environment for everyone. This year's edition exceeded all my expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely repeat this experience where I and my fellow team members learned how to create a mobile app that can solve a specific problem in a community. I hope this project will continue for a long time, as it is an experience that needs to be enjoyed by as many students as possible." – Student, I.L. Caragiale National College, Bucharest
