How do you go from being a member of the restaurant start-up industry to creating a coding academy for refugees that connects them with jobs in the IT industry? You complete an exchange program to the United States, meet with other entrepreneurs, and come up with a new concept that you put into action back at home. Christian’s leadership and creativity has created a program that not only helps integrate Switzerland’s refugee population.
The alumni website is currently undergoing changes, and we hope to back up soon. In the meantime, if you’re an exchange alumni, check out exchangealumni.state.gov to connect with fellow alumni, join groups and events, search for job opportunities, and more! And check out eca.state.gov to find out more about our exchange program opportunities.
