YSGE 3.0 was the internship abroad project for the entire vocational training in Styria, which offered Styrian students and apprentices the opportunity to complete an Erasmus+ funded internship abroad. With YSGE 3.0 we continued our Erasmus+ internship abroad projects YSGE 2.0 & YSGE, whose offers were very well received by Styrian young people, schools and companies. YSGE 3.0 aimed at getting as many Styrian young people as possible to embark on the "adventure of an internship abroad" and complete their compulsory or voluntary internship in a company or institution abroad. We were and are convinced that European practical experiences can contribute to increasing learning motivation in VET, to recognising the relevance of learning opportunities for one's own professional future and thus to increasing the educational success of young people. "Last but not least, with YSGE 3.0 we aimed to promote the spirit of a common Europe among all participants, individuals, schools and institutions involved. Nothing promotes this understanding and a positive attitude more than personal experience.
