The document discusses AMURT Romania's grassroots entrepreneurship and life skills training program. The program has 5 skill domains: daily living skills, self-care, community resources, social relationships, and work/entrepreneurial skills. AMURT Romania implements a curriculum using these domains to encourage socio-economic independence among vulnerable people. Students gain real-world experience through a "micro-society business school" that models the job market and teaches business and financial literacy. Plans for 2012 include expanding vocational training, entrepreneurship programs, and investments to improve facilities.
