Presenters, including Head and Labor Attaché Llewelyn Perez, Atty. Marlena Kaczmarek, and vlogger Poland with Jessi, provided practical guidance on key topics such as:

• Third-country hiring and accreditation

• Proper resignation letters and NLI (Labour Inspectorate) requirements

The session concluded with an active Open Forum, where participants raised questions regarding work documentation, employment rights, and common challenges faced by OFWs in Poland.
