We are promoting the progress of talented youngsters from the local universities by developing their skills and bringing them closer to the reality of the business world in Euskadi.
We are offering two programmes to undergraduate and postgraduate university students: Talentia Skills and Be Basque Ambasssadors.
Talentia Skills is an excellence-focused programme whose aim is to develop university students’ transversal skills, guide them throughout the course of their degrees and bring them closer in a pro-active manner to the companies and the different reference sectors of the Basque Country.
The programme participants work from the outset in multi-disciplinary teams made up of individuals with varying professional profiles and academic specialisations.
Target group: Bizkaia university undergraduate students with the greatest potential. Duration of the programme: 4 years. The students are selected by their universities during the first year of their degree courses. Activities: theme-based workshops, group coaching sessions, meetings with Bizkaia companies. Participantes: UPV/EHU, University of Deusto, University of Mondragon.
BE BASQUE AMBASSADORS
Be Basque Ambassadors is a programme whose aim is to promote loyalty in postgraduate students from abroad by helping them with their social integration and in joining the labour market in our country, in order to foster the creation of an ecosystem which promotes, attracts and creates loyalty with respect to highly qualified professionals in our region.
An additional objective of the programme is that should the foreign students choose to develop their professional careers in another part of the world, they can act as Basque ambassadors, maintaining their contact and feeling of belonging with our nation forever, which links up perfectly with the principles of Bizkaia Talent’s “Be Basque” strategy.
Target group: foreign students doing PhD’s or other postgraduate studies in Bizkaia. Duration of the programme: 9 months Activities: participative conferences, training workshops, meetings with Bizkaia companies, sociocultural events.
