Our recent study is connected to a survey conducted between June and September 2006. While last year's survey aimed to measurethe anticipations of SME's on business climate and employment trends andthe opinion of students enrolled invocational training programs - collecting information frommore than 2200 enterprises from 17 different counties of Hungary -, we made significant alterations on this year's survey. Between July and October 2007, we used more-or-less the same survey on 2088 enterprises than last year but this time we conducted interviews only with those students we asked last year as well.

The county chambers of commerce and industry contributed to the successful transaction of the survey helping to map the business situation of enterprises and their opinion on the vocational school graduates. Also, we used the central database on the practical training centresowned by the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry to choose a sample.
