Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian victims of Putin’s and Lukashenko’s regimes, willing to apply their professional experience in American companies, are welcome to apply.

Fear of starting everything from scratch keeps many successful professionals from escaping even unsafe environments.

→ So you’ve accepted this challenge. You’ve come such a long way, and you’ve been through a lot. You are ready to prove your professional worth to American employers, but no one is willing to trust a newbie.

→ You feel frustrated because you cannot move your professional background and social capital from your home country.

Sounds familiar?

We know how you feel.

With that in mind, we created ‘Inclusion’ BE-EDGE CONSULT-A-THON™ as a method, tool, and platform to help you establish your professional presence and build your portfolio in the American market.

What is 'Inclusion' BE-EDGE CONSULT-A-THON™?

A consult-a-thon (a portmanteau of the words consulting & marathon) is an event wherein case consultants collaborate intensively on case clients’ business problems.

‘Inclusion’ BE-EDGE CONSULT-A-THON™ is a weekend-based event that aims to synchronize the competitive strategies of global talents and their potential employers – American companies.

During the event, potential employers - CASE CLIENTS - share a real challenge that the company is currently working on. They are looking for the unique expertise that global talents can bring to the table.
Global talents become CASE CONSULTANTS and collaborate intensively on case clients' business challenges relevant to each own career aspirations.
