Greece : Work experience

Temporary work experience is an excellent way to learn more Greek to equip you to apply for employment or postgraduate study in Greece.

Work placements and internships

Organisations that can help you find internships or work placements include:

• AIESEC (Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales). AIESEC Hellas has strong links with employers. Every year they organise job fairs, events and placements for foreign students;
• IAESTE (The International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience);
• International Voluntary Service (IVS) in Britain.

Exchange programmes

Your institution may be involved in the Leonardo da Vinci Programme, through which vocational training exchanges and work placements are arranged with partner organisations in other countries. Contact your institution's international office or careers service for more information.

Teaching schemes

Consider teaching English by looking at the vacancies available through Anglo-Hellenic Teacher Recruitment.

Volunteering

Opportunities for voluntary work in Greece are available through Elix - volunteering in Greece and numerous broader organisations such as the European Youth Portal.

Casual work

Casual and temporary jobs are widely available in the tourism and hospitality sectors. For examples of typical opportunities, see Jobs Abroad.
