When enrolling for this programme, you need to write a covering letter, explaining why you want to join the programme, what your expectations are and what your study / work experience is. The enrolment must be at least 3 months in advance. The letter needs to be as detailed and specific as possible so that a work placement can be found in a local company that meets your expectations. The work you do depends on your level of education and qualifications, your skills and experience and your level of English.

Homestay accommodation is not available during the period of the work experience. All other kinds of accommodation are available and you can be assisted if you want to find accommodation for yourself.
