In the era of growing globalization, strengthening of international partnerships opens new doors for young people.

CAREER GROWTH, CULTURAL INTEGRATION & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
One of the participants, 21-year-old Oshadi Thotagamuwa from Sri-Lanka, shared her journey in the programme:
“Just over a year ago, I started in the Service and Hospitality field. I was inspired by the opportunities Alabuga Start offered. Within six months, I was promoted. Now, I’m on track to become a Supervisor soon — leading a full team and gaining invaluable leadership experience”.
Oshadi proudly shared how starting her career with no prior experience and a $600 monthly salary inspired her younger sister to follow in her footsteps. Her sister has already applied to Alabuga Start and is now awaiting her invitation to Russia.
Every participant receives full support from the moment they apply:
