TITLE:
RIS Internship programme: broadening University-Business Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:
Overall objective of the project is to implement a Sustainable and structured RIS Internship Programme for East European (RIS) and EIT-RM- labelled MSc students, thus increasing students' entrepreneurial and business skills, broadening the University-Business Cooperation activities in the RIS region.
RIS Internship programme runs as an approved EIT RM KAVA project from the 1st of January 2022 until the end of 2024. The territorial coverage includes the initial pilot region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia) and the new coming East European RIS countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
During the project, about 367 students will conduct an internship in 300 companies. At current rate of employment of 10% for the interns participating in the programme, we estimate that about 40 students will remain employed in the industry after their graduation. Train-the-trainer activities focused on 270 industry supervisors will additionally increase the entrepreneurship/business skills of the interns and broaden University-Business Cooperation (UBC) activities. The project will encourage employment of the RM graduates in the local industry and leverage brain drain in the ESEE region.
