History of the Certificate project

IES was established as a successor institution to the European Community YOUTH programme, a joint project of Great Britain, Poland, Ireland and the Czech Republic. From 1993 to 1996 this programme was managed and financially supported by the PHARE project.

The YOUTH programme was coordinated by the OUVERTURE headquarters in Glasgow and methodical help was provided by the ECOS-OUVERTURE office in Budapest. Under the YOUTH programme, the position of graduates from various schools and their success in labour market were examined. The results of the study showed one of the main drawbacks – the absence of an international document, a certificate which would ensure its holder the best chances to succeed both in the global and local markets and which would provide employers with quality information not included in the regular school reports and diplomas. Based on these findings, the Certificate project was created.
