Furthermore, a classification of the profiles identified was displayed, and it is noteworthy that 80% of these pertain to the engineering sector.
Also presented were advances made in the “Study & Work in the Basque Country” programme, within the framework of the “Bizkaia with the Talent” strategy of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, the aim of which is to attract international students by means of official master’s degrees available in the STEM area at the universities of the Basque Country.
Other subjects covered at the event were the requirements and necessary procedures to follow for the incorporation of Colombian professionals, together with presentations by experts in Colombian talent, including representatives of Asocolvas (Association of Colombians in the Basque Country) and the GAIA Cluster.
