Programme description:
Student practices are an important aspect in the professional development of the student. The lack of any kind of work experience is often considered as disadvantage for graduated students looking for employment. Given the aspect that not every University offers internship opportunities or trainings in companies, the goal of this programme is to overcome the gap between the theory and practice in the educational system, by offering practical use of the material learned at the University.
The training & internship programme “Student practice for an easier transition from school to work” is consisted of 4 phases. First, a 2-days training in Communication Skills will be organized for the selected participants, consisted of three parts: how to write a CV and motivation letter, job interview simulation, active listening, body language and business ethics, that will ease the process in finding job. Following, the selected candidates will be offered a one-month internship at selected Macedonian companies that operate within the YES Incubator. During the internship period, the selected interns will undergo a 3-days training on E-business and Interactive marketing including a practical assignment – writing an online marketing plan for the company that would need to be completed by the end of the internship.
Both trainings will be conducted in English language and live streamed on the Mladiinfo web site.
Dates of the trainings:
* Communication Skills training: 17-18 September 2010.
* E-business and Interactive Marketing training: 1-3 October 2010.
* The internship period is September/October 2010 (exact dates and details will be arranged with the company).
