🛑 Stop looking for a way out. Start building a way up.
You do not have to move abroad to build a high-paying, exciting career. What if you could launch a profitable, location-independent freelance business right here, from your laptop?
We are looking for exactly 12 motivated students or young people ages 18 to 30 from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro to join the MaNaBu Youth VA Program - Western Balkans - completely FOR FREE.
Through this special regional program, you are getting full, sponsored access to the world-class Virtual Excellence Academy to take you from absolute beginner to a confident, remote service provider.
✨ What is in it for you:
🚀 Master 32+ digital tools including AI apps, project management, and tech systems.
💡 Client Acquisition Mastery to learn exactly how to land international clients.
💼 Direct Career Pipelines connecting you to modern employers, including our network of green energy companies looking for digital support.
🌐 Lifetime Community with instant access to a global network of 35,000+ freelancers.
⚠️ The Catch?
We only have 6 sponsored student spots per country for this cohort. We care about your drive and commitment, not a perfect resume.
All you need: English, a laptop, and drive.
📅 Application deadline: 10.08.2026.
