About the Program

The program is divided into 2 main levels of 5 sessions each. Level I focuses on making the most out of the final year of university, while Level II helps to prepare participants for life after graduation.

Each session focuses on a specific area and participants are given the opportunity to identify how they can achieve their long and short term goals.

Once Level II is completed participants will have the chance to apply for a paid internship. This is an excellent opportunity to gain work experience and start building professional connections before entering the job market.
