Businesses in the #Manawatu will benefit from a new partnership between #CEDA and #ManawaTech Businesses in the Manawatū will benefit from a new partnership between CEDA and ManawaTech as they support the Summer of Tech programme in 2024. With an aim to increase the number of recent tech graduates moving to the region, they will cover the Summer of Tech registration fee for participating businesses as well as co-funding 50% of the placement fee. “Tech plays such an important role across the whole ecosystem,” says Greg Bignall, CEDA Business Development Manager. “So there’s a nice synergy because tech cuts across all sectors that we focus on at CEDA.” Summer of Tech is a nationwide internship programme, established in 2006, that enables employers to connect directly with students and graduates on a digital platform, efficiently identifying best candidates for the roles and shortening the time spent recruiting. It also provides access to a tech-focused talent pool which makes it easier for businesses to go directly to students with related tech skills..... https://bit.ly/44KsIL6 ManawaTech Central Economic Development Agency (CEDA) #NewZealand #Business #Tech Katherine Blaney Via nzentrepreneur.co.nz

𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬! Last, but definitely not least, we would like to reintroduce Bilal Tsouli. Bilal is our latest addition to our team as our fourth Matchmaker. He has been a part of our team for a few months now and we are happy to tell you more about him below! We asked Bilal about what his opinion is on the work he does at Port of Opportunities. He responded: “At POFO, I commit myself to social engagement to advance the port and industry of Rotterdam with the beautiful initiative that is PofO. Many companies have had a long-standing need for employees with a specific expertise. This expertise is often found among #newcomers in the Netherlands, who are motivated to re-enter their own field of work. Therefore, it is my responsibility as a Matchmaker to make the right match between these two parties with mutual needs. When we asked Bilal how he found PofO, he told us that he used to do his internship at Watertalent in 2016. “Since then, I've always stayed in touch with them and visited every year for a cup of coffee. It has been on my mind for a while, but in February 2024, it was time to return to these roots. However, this time it was in a new organization called Port of Opportunities. After years of working in commercial environments, it was time for me to use my experience for societal purposes. That's why Port of Opportunities was the right match for me at the right time in my life. I find working here enjoyable, because our goal is to give newcomers in the Netherlands an opportunity and to guide them through this process. The #gratitude we receive for this is indescribable, and it gives me more energy to work within PofO. Additionally, it's a young team with a lot of creativity and freedom for new ideas.” “I have been involved with refugees in the Netherlands for many years, but also with peoples before they even have the chance to flee”, Bilal adds. “In my ideal world, no population should have to flee their own country, which is why I like to keep track of developments in those countries. Additionally, I do my best to constantly contribute to various population groups and I enjoy engaging in healthy discussions to create more awareness. By being involved in this way, I hope to understand these people from their perspective and then provide the best available assistance with Port of Opportunities.”

division5's last internship call had over 450 applications! 😱 This is double from the last call. And 3 times what it was 3 years ago. Young people in Albania want to enter the IT industry. 🇦🇱 They are smart, motivated, and willing to learn! Now we need to make sure that they are trained well and stay in the country for the mid- to long-term. They need two things for that: a. An environment in which they can grow and learn. 🚀 b. Interesting projects and tech challenges to work on. 💡 Engjell and the division5 Crew are taking care of the former. Once trained, we'd love to integrate them into existing teams working on exciting tech challenges (under senior supervision, of course). 👉 Are you looking for talented developers? 👈 Just reach out to me and I'll explain how it works. 🇦🇱 Re the picture: Does anyone remember the startup bus at PIRATE Summit 2015? That's the energy Albania needs. And with companies willing to work with Albanian developers, we can bring more of it there.
