Following every step of our students, from our school doors to campuses around the world, we wanted to enable them to obtain qualifications and competencies that will secure them a spot at the most prestigious universities and programmes.

The founder of the International School, the international company LINKgroup, a leader in professional education and certification in IT and modern business for more than two decades, has opened LINK INTERNSHIP for the International School, an internship  programme for the students of our school.

Students in Year 11, Year 12 and Year 13 will have the opportunity to spend one month in one of the sectors of this international company, where they will learn what it’s like to work in some of the most sought-after fields today – marketing, sales, HR, consulting, etc.

Research has shown that 87% of respondents claim that students who have experienced some form of internship have better competencies and skills than those who have not. Studies have also shown that in most enrolment procedures, experience in a professional environment plays an important part. 

This is one of the reasons why the International School strives to provide its students with the best possible education and help them secure their spot at prestigious universities around the world. In recent years, students of the International School have showcased their knowledge and competencies and entered universities in the Netherlands, Great Britain, Canada, the USA, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, France and many other countries.

For years LINKgroup, a company that is successful in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova and the United States of America, and which brings together students from over 120 countries worldwide through distance learning, has been helping people become more successful with great passion and ambition.

The company believes that education is the basis for success for every individual, and strives to implement this belief by changing education and adapting it to the needs of new generations.

“Through this programme, we want to enable students of the International School to experience contemporary business and the modern business environment. We give young enthusiasts the chance to learn about the inner workings of a large system before they embark on their careers; to gain their first working experience and see how important it is to develop the skills that are in demand on the labour market”, says Nikola Goljović from LINKgroup’s HR sector.

Many students use internship programmes as a strategy that helps them opt for a particular academic programme and enrich their applications. Moreover, the students gain valuable experience that will be highly beneficial in their professional environment.
