At Carrier, we’re passionate about increasing our own knowledge of the world. We have a strong affinity to Prowibo’s philosophy of championing education for all. Their ambition is to create a community of academics and professionals to share their expertise with students everywhere, and we are proud to embark on this journey with them.
Prowibo’s priorities are to:
Build customised short-term summer schools for university students, made available to any institution that invites Prowibo to their campus.
Offer tailored education and training experiences to companies, organisations and students, focusing on skills building for the 21st century, and provide additional free career development support online.
What’s the story?
Established in 2016, and gaining the support of Carrier in 2018, Prowibo continues to grow, widen their reach and offer more summer schools to an increasing number of institutions worldwide.
As an official sponsor, Carrier funds and coordinates the flight arrangements for professors running the summer schools. Our support allows these schools to continue year on year.
