With 90% of our Alumni typically finding a job within 3 months of their graduation, we would like to congratulate our 3rd Edition Alumni Guilherme Casanova and Gustavo Azevedo for their new jobs at the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2019, less than 2 months after graduating! They are working in the Local Organising Committee’s Marketing Department: Guilherme as a Marketing Coordinator at the Estádio Olímpico Pedro Ludovico in Goiânia and Gustavo as a Marketing Assistant at the Bezerrão Stadium, in Brasília.🇧🇷
Also part of the same edition and only two weeks after going back home from Europe, Arief Ilyasa got one of his dream jobs. He is now working as a sports agent at MSG (Munial Sport Group), a sports agency, marketing consultancy, and entertainment company based in Indonesia.🇮🇩
Meanwhile, Maxime Kalimba from our 1st Edition proved his worth at UEFA and got promoted to Football Operations Assistant.
Jean-Baptiste Brunet from our 2nd Edition also embarked on a new journey, this time in the Functional Trainee Program – Global Brands Marketing at adidas.
Congratulations and good luck from The FBA Family!
