• To inform and train human resources managers in making good use of diversity.
• The professional development of people belonging to vulnerable groups with the aim of integrating them into the labor market.

Based on science, technology, psychology, education and through the utilization of research and the development of psychometric tools, Career Sign designs seminars and new methodologies for the implementation of the above objectives.

• 12 students - volunteers in 26 locations participated in this activity (from October 2018 until March 2019).
