Alter Start entrepreneurs, mentors and team gathered around a large table for a test buffet

This summer, our entrepreneurs made the most of the season to become more professional and gain experience. Great stories to share! ☀️

  • Namas joined the kitchen teams at the Beau-Rivage Palace, working on Room Service and the Lobby Lounge. An internship in luxury hospitality that is helping him develop key skills in a growing sector.
  • Un Temps Pour Soi, an association working for women, prepared a workshop on imposter syndrome, on 28 August at 1:30 pm, at the Maison des Associations in Morges.
  • Maha Kardouh organised a test buffet for her anti-inflammatory Mediterranean catering project: hummus, tabbouleh, seed bread and other delicious, gut-friendly dishes!
  • Kandama Jeanne started the professional practice training programme at EVAM to train as an early childhood educator.

These experiences show the difference that volunteering or a corporate partnership can make. Our beneficiaries stayed motivated and available for these opportunities.

Entrepreneurs and employees, you too can contribute to their success!
