The European Union’s EuropeAid Managers Training Programme (MTP) intends to continue realisation of its “Local MTP” initiative successfully launched last year. 20 managers will be selected for this programme.
About the programme: MTP is funded by the European Union and started its activities in October 1999. Till now MTP has arranged over 2000 internships in Western Europe for CIS managers, allowing them to enhance their skills and modify their approach to management through a closer look at Western management styles, to find new business contacts and a common language with potential EU partners. The “Local MTP“, as a part of MTP, offers Ukrainian managers an internship in representative offices and affiliates of Western European companies in Ukraine. The “Local MTP“ arranges an internship with the following programme: introductory, mid-term and end-term seminars and internship in Ukraine, companies’ visits in Germany and Europa Seminar in Belgium. The programme lasts from October 23, 2004 till December 13, 2004.
Benefits for Ukrainian managers: - to get practical experience in a Western company operating under real Ukrainian economic environment conditions; - to set up business contacts with potential partners among Western companies in Ukraine as well as during visits to Germany and Belgium; - to set up business contacts with other managers from Ukraine and other CIS countries and exchange experience; - to learn Western management style in Ukraine.
Managers applying for the Local MTP should fulfil the following criteria: - Age between 25 and 40 years, - at least 3 years of practical managerial experience, - good active knowledge of at least one EU language in speaking and writing.
The programme will overtake all expenses related to airfares, accommodation, medical insurance in Europe and living costs during internship in Ukraine.
The “Local MTP“ offers Ukrainian offices of Western companies to become host companies for Ukrainian managers and to “employ” a local specialist of the appropriate qualification for a two months internship in the company.
Benefits for Western companies: - to have a possibility to get in closer contact with potential partners in other Ukrainian regions and receive first hand information about regional markets; - to have an opportunity to get a qualified specialist for internship from any Ukrainian regions; - to use a skillful employee in order to resolve a particular problem situation or carry out a specific assignment/project.
The Western host company does not need to pay an intern during her/his work.
Interested Ukrainian managers and offices of Western European companies in Ukraine are invited to apply for the Local MTP.
