Its great advantage is that the students will take the training abroad, in different surrounding, in a country of different culture, language and customs. The students educated as nutrition and food service technicians and logistics technicians will serve 3-week internships in institutions chosen by Vitalis and YouNet and economist technicians will take 2-week internship in WBS TRAINING AG in two rounds.
