About the working experience
We arrange work placement in companies for students in vocational education according to their specialisation. Our partners are experts in the field and integrate the trainees into their companies, giving them insight into company’s internal processes. Participants are placed individually or in groups of two or three and communicate with their mentors and colleagues only in English.
The internships last from two weeks to six months. Students will not only complete their obligatory vocational training, thus improving their CV and increasing future chances of getting a good job, but also gain new experience and knowledge, establish contacts for the future, improve their English and much more. All internships are certified with the Europass Mobility Certificate and we are ready to prepare every working programme within ECVET.
Participants can look forward to high-quality specialised programme in companies and to experiencing different culture. In their free time, they will discover Czech historical sites and the picturesque landscape. Cultural and leisure activities are included in the mobility in order to make their stay even more enjoyable.
