Are you a student or recent graduate looking for an opportunity to gain international experience and enhance your career prospects? Look no further than ErasmusPlus – a program that offers students and young professionals the chance to participate in educational, training, and work placements abroad. And Alise from Kuldīga, Latvia is a perfect example of how ErasmusPlus can change lives.
Last summer, Alise completed her vocational education in the field of logistics at her local vocational school in Kuldīga, Latvia. While she had gained a theoretical understanding of her field, she was eager to gain practical experience in a professional setting. That’s when she came across the opportunity to participate in an ErasmusPlus mobility project and complete an internship in Germany.
Alise was accepted into a logistics internship at Locema GmbH in Schwerin, Germany. She was filled with excitement and a mixture of nerves as she embarked on her journey to a new country with a different culture and language.
So, if you’re a student or young professional looking to expand your knowledge and gain international experience, consider ErasmusPlus. Who knows, like Alise, you may embark on a journey that will shape your future and change your life for the better.
But it wasn’t just about work for Alise. Being immersed in a new country and culture, she also took the opportunity to explore and make new friends. She tried German cuisine, visited historic landmarks, and even learned some basic German phrases. This not only helped her better understand the country but also enabled her to create long-lasting connections with people from different backgrounds.
As her internship came to an end, Alise returned to Latvia with a new perspective and a strengthened skill set. Her experience at Locema GmbH had given her confidence and increased her employability in the logistics field. But more than that, her time in Germany had broadened her horizons and helped her grow both professionally and personally.
We wish Alise all the best for her future endeavors and hope that she will carry this life-changing experience with her wherever she goes. ErasmusPlus has not only given her a chance to develop her career but also enabled her to explore a new country, make new friends, and learn about a different culture – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
So, if you’re a student or young professional looking to expand your knowledge and gain international experience, consider ErasmusPlus. Who knows, like Alise, you may embark on a journey that will shape your future and change your life for the better.
