In this new edition the programme features the participation of 21 people of 16 different nationalities including Egypt, Pakistan, Colombia, Russia, South Korea, France, Brazil, Sweden, Canada, Iran, India, Sri Lanka, Albania, Algeria, Portugal and the United States. Over a ten-week period the participants will be given orientation and advice and will be provided with tools and resources related to employment, training and entrepreneurship in the Basque Country.
By means of a combination of group sessions, mentoring and workshops the programme will enable them to explore new opportunities, strengthen their personal branding and redefine or reorientate their professional careers. In addition to this, they will have the opportunity to link up with key figures from the work and social ecosystem of Bizkaia which will favour their integration and extend their contacts networks.
