Kolarctic – BRIDGE

Cross border platform to enhance students' employability

The web & mobile development team of FrostBit participated in the BRIDGE project to create a visually pleasing webpage for it. The project itself aims to enhance the employability of university graduates; help to overcome a gap between requirements of SMEs and students’ competence level. BRIDGE provides firms with opportunities to become acquainted with future employees, students for meeting potential employers. Cross-border tourism, critical income source in peripheries, will be the main field of action.
