"Vector" career guidance school  is a project created by Nurgisa during the first year of "Management" specialty  (Minor-Entrepreneurship program with "Entrepreneurship" additional trajectory of training). The idea of ​​the project was originated less than a year ago, when he, being an applicant, faced a choice of  profession and university.

Nurgisa offered them guys  to do internship or training and consult with those people who have been working in this field for long time.

- The master class made me stronger and more ambitious, I have much to grow, I took into account all my mistakes and will correct them, - says Nurgisa Token.
