IVLP Impact Award Project: Brighter Seminar

This project aimed to empower undergraduate university students to generate a positive professional impact in their communities. 117 undergraduate students from different universities in Brazil participated in job training seminars to improve their personal and professional profiles. Seminar topics included leadership, job search skills and telework. The Universidad de Oriente UNIVO offered the 117 participants the opportunity to carry out a paid internship focusing on the XXXVI Model General Assembly of the Organization of American States at the conclusion of the training.
