A joint effort of the ASA of New York, US Research & Education Program Alumni Armenian Association, and Armenian Tourism Development Agency of Yerevan, Armenia, this program is designed to attract the youth and young professionals living in the Diaspora to visit Armenia and to work in their expert capacity in their historical Homeland. The timeframe of each assignment could vary from two weeks to a month and extend over longer periods of time if requested.

The ASA’s hope is that the outcome of the successful implementation of the concept will produce a steady en masse transfer of modern business mentality and practices to Armenia’s corporate world, add transparency and accountability to the local firms, and boost the country’s economic efficiency and cultural revival in the long run.

The program is targeted at bringing in the 2nd and 3rd generations of young Armenians in the Diaspora. Generally the preference in consideration would be given to the following candidates:

1. Students/young professionals;
2. First time visitors;
3. Established professionals willing to work in Armenia.
