COMPANY

An internship abroad as part of vocational training is a unique experience for apprentices. The European Union therefore supports apprentices financially with the "Erasmus+" program to make this opportunity easier to realize. 

​

All apprentices from Styrian companies can take part.

In addition to improving language skills and intercultural competencies, the focus is also on the professional working context.

We, the Steirische Volkswirtschaftliche Gesellschaft (STVG) as the project supervising organization of "Young Styrians GO Europe!" (YSGE), support the young people - in coordination with our official project partners:

​

  • Education Directorate for Styria

  • Styrian Provincial Government, Department 9 - Culture, Europe, External Relations

  • LOGO Jugendmanagement GmbH
