No. Your journey is tailor made by your business coach with the specific phases or skills that are most relevant to your startup’s current needs. However, it is expected that you prioritize participating in the activities, that you together with your assigned business coach agree upon.

It means hiring talent across Nordic countries, enabling startups to access a broader talent pool and build more diverse, competitive teams.

By joining Skills 2 Grow, you can:

• Improve your hiring strategy

• Build stronger teams

• Increase your startup’s growth potential

Once you are accepted into the program, you will be assigned a business coach, who will help you define and sign up for the skills you need in the program.
