One Year Working in Spain: The GROWTH You Didn't See

Описание: Welcome to the inside of our EUIPO traineeship experience in Spain. This podcast video is packed with one year in Alicante through the Pan-European Seal and Young Professionals programmes at the European Union Intellectual Property Office. We talk about our personal leadership development through life abroad.

What really changes you when you spend a year working abroad? In this special roundtable, I’m joined by fellow trainees to reflect on our experience at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

We talk about daily life in the office, the challenges and turning points that shaped us, the friendships and community we built, and how this traineeship added value to our personal leadership development.

This is more than a recap of our year; it’s an honest conversation about growth, resilience, and what it means to work in an international environment. We're excited to share it all with you 🌍
