Hosting Leonardo work placements

The companies and organisations that host our Leonardo trainees for work placements have generally found this to be a very worthwhile experience. The participant usually proves to be a useful addition to the company's staff. New links and friendships are forged, and the exchange of ideas with someone from a different country and culture can stimulate the working environment.

Benefits for your company

• Additional help from a trained professional in your field
• Exchange of knowledge and best practice
• Placements are at no costs to the company - reduced overheads
• A native speaker of a foreign language can make it easier to understand the foreign market and set up new business contacts abroad
• Increased international links, understanding and exchange
• We organise placements in many different fields, from specialised engineering and scientific research, to marketing, IT, hospitality, general administration staff and many more.
