ABSTRACT
Unlike their Western European and American counterparts, most young Croatian lawyers feel they lack the necessary career support during their studies and later at their workplace. Based on the recent primary data, this study investigates the career development services and experiences, perceived legal education-labour market (mis)match and mentoring insights among final year law students and recent graduates in Croatia. Preliminary findings indicate plenty of room for improvement both in transferring Western good practices and organically creating career support initiatives at the workplace and during legal studies. In addition, this study emphasises the (increased) importance of quality mentoring relations in the circumstances of exogenous shocks such as the global COVID-19pandemic.
ABSTRACT
Migrations are on the rise and so is remote work. Migrant entrepreneurs and digital nomads are among the key protagonists of both phenomena. Many recent global events (COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, armed conflicts, political instabilities) have influenced their lives in the most diverse ways. Based on the primary and secondary data this paper seeks to identify the main barriers perceived by the digital nomads and migrant entrepreneurs currently residing in Croatia. It also aims to provide an overview of the key activities implemented by support organisations in charge of these two migrant groups. Finally, it investigates whether those support initiatives are able to compensate for the obstacles faced by migrant entrepreneurs and digital nomads in the Croatian business environment.
