For the third time, we had the pleasure of hosting the students and accompanying teachers from Osnovna i srednja škola sa domom učenika “Petro Kuzmjak”, based in Ruski Krstur, Serbia, within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA121-VET program.
The participants, specialized in hotel and tourism management, completed their internship in three of our trusted partner hotels in Thessaloniki:

Internship Experience
During their two-week mobility, students had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the real work environment of the hospitality industry. Their training involved:

All tasks were carefully assigned according to the participants’ skills, experience, and language level, under the supervision of hotel staff and the support of our local team. The students demonstrated professionalism, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn, making the most of this international experience.
At the end of their mobility, all participants received the official Europass Mobility Certificate, recognizing the skills and knowledge acquired during their internship in Greece.
