Abstract: Universities play a fundamental role when it comes to professional life and for this purpose, they focus on innovative forms of pedagogy that stimulate the development of students' skills and their greater adaptability to the requirements of the labour market. The present paper is triggered by the importance and need to address the Service Based Learning (SBL) method in the field of administrative sciences as a link between student-centred pedagogies, promoting students' social responsibility and improving their insertion on the labour market specifically for the Romanian public administration that has the duty to satisfy the general interest established by law, by reporting on the impact of adopting a Government Decision which approved the operating of pre-university education units with pilot-status, experimental and application units. The paper highlights the fact that the institutionalization of the SBL method is necessary, being a present-day and appropriate approach as future generations of students seem to be favouring the experimental and applicative aspects in education, so SBL will become a good tool for organizational promotion meant to attract future candidates trained according to the newly launched educational approach.
