Outgoing students - traineeship

The goal of the Traineeship is primarily to help students adapt to the requirements of the labor market of the European Community. Students and graduates of BUEM have the opportunity to acquire work habits, professional and practical skills, learn about their possibilities and abilities and thus improve their applicability on the labour market. Last but not least, through adopting the economic and social conditions in the host country, to get the possibility of applying them in the home country.
