The registration to host international internships is open for new companies and institutions
The EUNICE International Internship Portal offers this academic year 2022-2023 more than 200 companies and institutions for students to submit candidatures to take an international traineeship and enjoy multicultural and multilingual work experiences abroad. These types of experiences allow organisations to enhance the students’ curricula, to they learn to work in an international and culturally diverse context and to learn about new techniques and practices in other countries, resulting in higher employability.
Some of the companies post specific positions and others would like to train diverse profiles so they accept spontaneous applications and students can submit self-candidacies. Davide Russo, a Chemistry student at the University of Catania (Italy), experienced over the summer the possibility of adding two more months of his mobility at University of Mons (Belgium) and found an internship at the Materia Nova company.
“I suggest everyone to take a look at the internship portal and try to start this experience because not only will you be able to manage and understand what it means to be abroad and how to communicate with people from other backgrounds, but this will also help you understand what your future will be like once you finish your studies,” he said.
Enriching teams
New features have been added for companies, research centres, NGOs, etc., to join EUNICE International Internship Portal and propose new opportunities to attract high-level profiles and train the next generation of international professionals, capable of meeting the challenges of the near future. In example, organisations can target candidates with degrees and know-how not available locally and can expand their teams with qualified junior staff trained on-the-job.
A company on the EUNICE International Internship Portal also can strengthen cooperation with its partner universities in terms of research and innovation, and expand commercialisation markets throughout Europe.
Along this new feature, the portal has been generally upgraded, offering new information and a more user-friendly design and aims to add new specific features in the future oriented to other collectives such as researchers. This also constitutes an excellent tool to understand which job requirements are most demanded in the European labour market.
