In 2014 Edulab partnered with Le Forem, the Walloon governmental agency for employment and lifelong learning. The scheme sends 20 to 30 young graduates each year to India for a three-month internship in a company, association or institution, each with a substantial grant from Le Forem.
Every year, twice a year, twenty to twenty-five young graduates go through a series of tests conducted by Le Forem and Edulab. Out of those, ten to fifteen are selected for a fully funded three-month internship in India.
We cater to their internship, the visa, the orientation pre-departure and post-arrival, their accommodation in India and their transport between home and office. As for most of them it is their first trip to India, we make sure they participate in the cultural events held throughout the year.
The programme has been a success. All interns have worked in top companies across India. After their internship, 90% of them managed to find a job. This is our impact: making the youth work-ready, giving them the opportunity to learn and enhance their skills while gaining actual work experience.

My experience in India? How can I put this into words? It's amazing.
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship here and I have had the opportunity to learn so much from my mentors. I have loved every single moment.
When I decided to visit India for an internship my parents were freaked out. Thanks to all the information and contacts Edulab provides, they were at least assured. I am coming back to India soon!
