The 30 weeks internship element of the course provides the opportunity to become a trainee of an actual company, often with the possibility to be hands-on with the daily tasks, demonstrating and developing skills whilst achieving real-life work experience for the resume! During the internship you will do your final business exams. We encourage and support an internship abroad.

Only companies listed on www.stagemarkt.nl are approved for our internships. In order to achieve the EBBD, an internship abroad is required.
