FSPAC students are prepared to face their future jobs after their graduation. The students develop their abilities and skills, badly needed in a future job, but are also ready  to start a business, within the project “Vocational counseling, internships and simulated enterprise: an extra chance in finding a job for students following specializations in public administration, communication, public relations and advertising“(HRD / 161 / 2.1 / G / 137 510).

In the simulated enterprises, students are involved in activities that teach how to set up and operate a business, developing their knowledge and entrepreneurial skills.
