“UKRAINIAN PROJECT 2024” Erasmus+ Internship Program in Slovakia

Within our initiative, WorkSpace Europe helps foreign students from abroad to come for Erasmus+ internships in Slovakia and place them into host companies in different sectors www.placementslovakia.com.

Thanks to the possibility of transferring part of our EU grant (for our KA 131 projects) to supporting incoming students from Ukraine, we decided to use this opportunity and created a unique project to help students from Ukrainian Universities to come for the Erasmus+ internships in Slovakia. We provide Ukrainian students with our full administrative and practical support, pay them the EU grant, and place them in our partner companies in Slovakia to do their Erasmus+ internships.

Since the start in 2022, we have hosted over 40 students and have many successful stories about helping them move forward in their lives and careers.  Here you can read their stories here. Until we can we will do our maximum effort to search new Ukrainian Universities for partnerships to allow as many Ukrainian students as possible to join this unique project.
