During our Spring Seminar occurred in Sarajevo, Mostar, and Banja Luka. During the first session at all three seminar locations, we were graced with three excellent speakers from ProCredit Bank. The sessions were mainly focused on discussing CV writing, what to include and not include in a resume, and conducting mock interviews. Mock interviews helped our students understand how to answer common questions, how to behave, and ask questions.
A article written by the UNFPA, "Some humanitarians build, through their work, quietly albeit powerfully, a path towards a better future. One of those exceptional people is Joanna Shields, the founder of the Jericho Foundation, who has recently been awarded the Certificate of Appreciation by the City of Sarajevo for her dedicated work.
Although many may not have heard of the Jericho Foundation, its impact is profound throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. With scholarships granted to 68 university students across the country, the Foundation opens the door to education and provides an opportunity for young people to realize their dreams.
The story of the Jericho Foundation begins as a response to the tragic events of the war in BiH. Inspired by the desire to help, Joanna Shields launched a mission to support those who were forgotten. Her dedicated work answered the call for help, and today, her legacy lives on through the work of the Jericho Foundation."
