NEWS OF INTEREST TO SCANDINAVIANS
I recently received the following e-mail, if any of you are interested the e-mail address to reply to is : kkorda@aperianglobal.com
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Karolina Korda, Country Specialist Program Associate at Aperian Global. Aperian Global is a cross-cultural training firm, specializing in training professionals from various companies to adjust to new assignments overseas. We are contacting your organization because we are searching for a Swedish native who can assist us with a one-time training opportunity that will be taking place in Leicester and perhaps you can address me to somebody. We are looking for a Swedish “Country Specialist” (CS) to join our Lead Trainer in 19th November for a cross-cultural training in Leicester. A CS is ideally someone who is a native of the country, or someone who has experience in the country and accustomed to the working conditions there. The CS typically joins the Lead Trainer for a full day, i.e. 9:00 – 17:00, to give a personal perspective on what it is like to live and work in the country/area of assignment. The CS will not be required to prepare a presentation, and simply needs to assist the training program with personal perspectives and experiences. We typically offer monetary compensation of EUR 200 for the day.Please let me know if you know of anyone who may be interested in this opportunity. Feel free to forward the attachment which details the one-time position to other organizations or individuals who may be interested. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time, we look forward to hearing from you soon.Best regards,
Karolina Korda
