- Regular meetings with a personal guide who is their coach or mentor. Guides are professionals from various companies, professional coaches or career counselors.

Participants pay 20% of the program’s price – 79 Euros per month; the remaining 80% is paid from sponsorship of the partners, supporters and graduates. NLA has been working successfully for 12 years already and each year, around 30 students participate in the program.
