We invite our international students and recent graduates to undertake additional paid internships in Lithuania.

Together with Education Exchanges Support Foundation we begin the implementation of the project "Foreign Practices in Lithuania Program" (UPinLT), aimed at providing support to foreign students and graduates of Lithuanian higher education institutions for successful integration into the Lithuanian job market.

The project will allocate scholarships to international ISM students (excluding first-year students) and graduates, conducting additional or recent graduate internships in Lithuania-based companies and organizations.

Additional internship – an internship not specified in the study program, intended for acquiring additional practical skills or deepening existing ones related to the enrolled study program, carried out during free time from studies.

Recent graduate internship – an internship after studies, commenced no more than 12 months after the completion of studies, aimed at acquiring additional skills related to the acquired higher education qualification.
Important! According to the project conditions, students will not be able to consider this internship as a mandatory internship.

The scholarship amounts to 650 euros per month and is funded by the European Union's NextGenerationEU.

• The internship scholarship amount is 650 EUR/month. The scholarship is disbursed at the end of each internship month, upon submission of the required documentation confirming participation in the internship.
• Duration of student additional internships: 3 months, with a minimum weekly workload of 20 hours.
• Duration of recent graduate internships: 4 months, with a minimum weekly workload of 30 hours.
