What is a franchise?
YBG student organizations are grouped into franchises based on their target group and area of operation. This way of thinking ensures that, in any university, city or country, when a student encounters a YBG organization, they will be enriched with the same experiences and knowledge as members of other organizations of the same type. Organizations within the same franchise share the same brand, the values that the organization stands for, the operating model and the Talent Program, which we continue to develop year on year. The franchise system also helps us to ensure that each organization receives personalised support from specialized members of the YBG HQ.
Talent Program in Franchises
Our four-semester long training program for each franchise is made up of tailor-made, specific elements, but the structure and core elements are developed along the same principles. Members participate in courses and training sessions appropriate to the organization’s area of expertise, delivered in collaboration with corporate and other institutional partners and student organizations.
