Closing Event in July 2011! Next preparation starting in Oktober 2011!

Limerick and Cork

While one of our groups is gaining experience in Cork and is currently starting their work experience in various vocational fields, the group of Limerick has returned to Germany recently and can look back on a successful stay in Ireland.

Even though both groups experienced their adventures in two different cities of Ireland, or in the case of the Cork group still are experiencing, there are many similarities of experiences the two groups exchanged views on during a mutual stay in Cork. The participants learn a lot about themselves during their stay abroad and collect unforgettable experiences, which they will probably still share with their grandchildren.

To get a little insight into the happenings in Limerick and Cork, we recommend clicking the “Blog Button” top right. For a visual impression click the Irish flag afterwards.

Closing Event

A very good opportunity to get an individual impression of the experiences of the participants of both groups is a visit to this year’s Closing Event.

In a ceremonial event we will celebrate the successful closing of this year’s Eu fit rounds with many guests and of course especially our Ireland-returnees. The “Eu-fitties” will report, present and receive their certificates. Event-location is the “Forum” of the “Bildungszentrum des Handels e.V.” on july, 8th , 12 a.m. – 3 p.m.! All interested are cordially welcome to celebrate with us and inform themselves personally about our project. Please apply by phone (02361/3021-166)!

Apply now! Kick off is October 2011!

For all young people between 18 and 30, that haven’t found an apprenticeship yet or haven’t found a job after accomplishing their apprenticeship successfully, Eu fit is your chance to make the crucial step into an occupational career. YOU can apply directly or we can inform you without obligation, if Eu fit is the right programme for YOU. Call us or write an e-mail. We are happy to inform you! 02361/3021166 or info@eu-fit.de

The next two rounds to Ireland are going to start their preparation for the stay abroad in October 2011! All in all 30 young people will be able to experience unforgettable months in Ireland in 2012.
YOU can be one of them.

The project EU-fit starts its second turn.

After the ending of a real successful first project turn (almost all participants got mediated to an apprenticeship or work) the second turn started on November, 2nd with the new members in our project EU-fit Ireland.

English lessons, intercultural trainings and application management will attend the participants the next three month before they will finally go to Ireland. There they will improve their English knowledge in a language course at the University of Limerick and than, after one more month the German youngsters will start their trainee ships at Irish companies.
