Long-term mobility for traineeship and recent graduate traineeship

GAIN WORK EXPERIENCE ABROAD WITH THE PANNÓNIA SCHOLARSHIP!

An internship abroad gives you the opportunity to perform professional activities related to your studies at a business, company, or research institution. The time spent at the foreign organization will help you acquire the skills needed in the labor market and learn about the economic and social culture of the host country.

A student internship is a study-related, foreign-based, curriculum-based or freely chosen internship lasting a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 180 days.

The aim of the recent graduate traineeship is to help you find a job or lay the foundations for further studies by gaining professional experience abroad before graduating.
