3. The problem The main problem is unemployment and distribution of information about jobs, internships and volunteer opportunities. Passive citizens that during the time stopped looking for a job, citizens that are not using internet portals, newspapers (mainly people living in rural areas).

4. Proposed solution This should provide an outline of the basic need that would solve the above problem. We want to bring the information to the citizens through the tools that they already use and that is widely available.

5. Technology Creating a user-friendly sms platform and/or smartphone application for pushing information to the users through automatic notifications based on categories of interest, skills and education.
