Professional Internships Become Available in Russia!

Online, April 25, 2012 (Newswire.com) - BEST Programs a Madrid based organization providing professional internships, expands to the Russian market opening a subsidiary in Saint Petersburg. Given today's constipated job market, participants will be able to expand their professional expertise while gaining linguistic and life experience in Russia's most beautiful and westernized city.

Analogically to the European Internship Programs that BEST has been organizing in Spain, Italy and Belgium for almost 20 years, internships in Russia suggest the same European approach that makes overseas travel less risky when enrolled in a secure program. It provides a 2 week intensive language course in a centric specialized language academy, professional internship in the participant's chosen sector, insurance, visa and documentary support, lodging search, centrally located housing, airport retrieval, onsite coordinator, orientation pocket and 24-hour on-site support. As an a la carte service, BEST picks a company according to the aspiring intern's qualifications, level of language and interests. Some of the most popular professional sectors are: marketing, graphic arts, EFL, international relations, finance, law, journalism and tourism.

According to the joint statement by Russian and American University professors at the Global Education Conference in Paris, "The Study-Intern Program is a very important part of education that provides personal and professional international experience. It is a great addition to their academic background which foments communication abilities, self-confidence, responsibility and maturity and opens huge professional opportunities"

Besides gaining overseas experience, living in Russia at this time can be politically and economically advantageous. More specifically:

 The diversity of the Russian culture has created an open-minded society that accepts people from all over the world.
 Being a famous cultural center and modern business center, St. Petersburg opens for the interns inexhaustible possibilities in the field of life experience, study and internships.
 As a country that lives in a semblance of "business as usual," personal goals will not be at risk.
 Overseas travel helps to diffuse the cultural tensions that inhibit human progress.
