Since 2021, Verian has hosted five week-long immersion sessions, providing 24 Migrant Leaders interns with invaluable insights into social research, public policy, and data analysis. These programs have allowed participants to engage in practical research tasks, interact with senior leaders—including Verian's CEO—and explore various facets of the industry.

Migrant Leaders extends heartfelt gratitude to Craig Watkins and the entire Verian Group team for their unwavering commitment to empowering young individuals. This enduring partnership continues to foster diversity and inclusion within the professional landscape, paving the way for future leaders.​
