Your Future Profession

International internship in Latvia (April 2025)

From April 7-11 “Your Future Profession” partners and participants from Sweden participated in an international internship exchange in Liepaja, Latvia, exploring career opportunities and gaining hands-on experience in various local companies.

Participants gained valuable insights into the professions and roles offered by the companies, tried out practical tasks, learned about the companies’ daily operations and responsibilities, connected with various field professionals, and, surely, had so much fun exploring Liepaja – the city of the wind!
