ErasmusPlus is a European Union funding program that offers young people the opportunity to gain international experience and expand their skills. One of these lucky people is Aleksejs from Kuldīga, Latvia, who is currently completing an internship in Schwerin, Germany as part of an ErasmusPlus mobility project.
Aleksejs is a trainee car mechanic at the vocational school in Kuldīga, Latvia. He chose TRILK Reifen & Service GmbH in Schwerin for his internship. He worked there for a total of 2 ½ months and got to know the working methods in Germany.
For the young Latvian, it is not only a professional experience, but also a personal one. Because he has the opportunity to live and work in a completely new environment, meet new people and experience a different culture. This not only improves his foreign language skills, but also his intercultural competence.
During his internship at TRILK Reifen & Service GmbH, Aleksejs has the chance to put the theoretical knowledge he has acquired into practice. He not only gets to know the latest technologies and standards in the automotive industry, but also the special features and differences compared to Latvia. This allows him to further develop his skills and position himself on the European labor market.
ErasmusPlus not only offers young people like Aleksejs the opportunity to further their professional development, but also to grow personally. The experiences they gain during their stay abroad help to strengthen their cosmopolitanism, tolerance and flexibility. These skills are very important in today’s globalized world and can continue to be of great use in the future.
We wish Aleksejs all the best for his private and professional future and hope that he will carry this experience with him for the rest of his life. Because ErasmusPlus is not just a program for a few months, but an experience for a lifetime. It opens doors and creates opportunities for young people who want to develop and contribute to a shared European future.
