We are working on open office basis (Read more here to understand the meaning). This gives us the chance to recruit also remote trainees worldwide. Each trainee has been assigned a personal mentor who keeps track of their progress and takes on the role of a personal guide throughout the program. The trainees are attending several training meeting and review, which will help them approach their challenges and tasks differently, boosting their creativity and innovative abilities.

The outcome of the project will be published under the profile of the trainee on our training page which the trainee can share via different social media channel, refer to it during job search or job interview. We deliver also to our trainees an official certificate and a final evaluation reporting.
