Italian Students Will Undertake Traineeships at ASU

Nine representatives of Ca' Foscari University of Venice, a long-standing partner of Astrakhan State University, are about to undertake traineeship programmes at industrial enterprises of the region.

The group of Italian Master’s degree students arrived in Astrakhan last week to undertake study courses and traineeships within the framework of the Erasmus+ grant programme. The guests are already attending Russian language courses at the ASU Faculty of Philology & Journalism.

The Italian MA students will soon do an externship at three organizations that are partners of our university. A group of students will have a traineeship at the United Shipbuilding Corporation, some students will do the course at the office of the special economic zone “Lotus”, while the others will head for Elena Group to undertake a fashion externship at Calzedonia, Intimissimi, Benetton Group and Mondo Italia Gallery.

The students that arrived in ASU are not only proficient in Russian but also take the study programme “Economy and Languages of Countries of Eastern Europe”, i.e. they specialize particularly in Russia. It is possible that these very students will work someday at joint Russian-Italian enterprises or help develop the relations of the countries, having this invaluable experience of traineeships at Astrakhan enterprises.
