Update February 2022

Our interns – 1st semester 2022

On February 1, we were once again able to welcome five students from Southern Africa to Switzerland. In the meantime, they have settled in well with their host families and companies. This year, the internships are taking place at bob Finance, Credit Suisse and Julius Baer. What is unusual this time - due to the current situation – the internships are partially structured as a hybrid for the first time, i.e. the interns work at the workplace on site and in the home office. Accordingly, the introduction day for the students and their mentors was also conducted virtually.

On February 19 the students went on an excursion to Zug. Together with Ursi Herzog, Marianne Egli, Christoph Balmer and the B360 Team the interns got to know the city of Zug.  The workshop in the afternoon in the B360 offices was very interesting. A few impressions can be found in the photo gallery.

We wish our interns a successful time in Switzerland and will keep you informed.

We would like to thank our host families, mentors and donors for their commitment and support. Without them, our Northbound program would not be possible!
