Application requirements

AYUSA offers two very similar programs, which include work in your profession. They are Internship and Career Training. The main difference between the two programs is in terms of program eligibility and the duration of the program..

Internship program – is intended for full-time students during their final year of studies (primary or postgraduate) or graduates who have completed their studies less than a year ago. For the internship program , work experience is not necessary. The maximum duration of the program is 12 months.
Career Training program – is intended for final year full-time students (primary or post-graduate studies) with a minimum of five years of professional experience ; or graduates with a minimum of one year of professional experience. For graduates, it does not matter how much time has passed since the date of graduation. The maximum duration of the program is 18 months, except in the area of hotel management; the program may last no longer than 12 months.

A key prerequisite to qualify for the Internship/Career Training program is a field of study that is compatible with the area in which the candidate will work.
