Are you an immigrant, international, or repat in Norway with an interest in starting your own business? Join us in Kristiansand from October 27 – 30 to acquire the knowledge, resources, and tools to start your own business or organization.
Immigrants and internationals need professional and employment opportunities to become proactive solution finders to business and societal challenges. The Springboard workshops aim to synergize the tools, resources, network, and mindset shift needed for sustainable professional development. In addition, it will amplify the business creation knowledge that participants can utilize in their professional lives to secure employment either via traditional means or by starting a business.
