Orbán: Youth must have access to useful professions
Change language:
“We need to build a country in which workers and work are respected; where all young people can master a useful profession or obtain a useful degree,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Monday.
“This is our goal; this is why we signed an agreement with the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and this is why we will sign another agreement with them for the coming four years as well,” Orbán said at the opening ceremony of a festival for students in vocational training programmes.
Addressing the students present at the ceremony, the prime minister said:
“Let’s build together the Hungary to which one can always return.”
“Hungarians have always had to fight for everything: their own professionals, their youth and even their future,” Orbán said.
Today, Europe is “put together in a way” that allows richer countries “with luckier histories” to “drain” other countries of their skilled young talent, Orbán said. “Employers in other countries also have their sights set on you,” he told the students present.
Orbán said there were two ways Hungary could respond to the brain drain of its young professionals.
