"For me the internship was a key asset to develop my career"



Role: Disbursements Officer

"I attended the 1st edition of the Master in European Project planning in Florence held by Pixel in 2012-2013. The master was really interested and gave me a tailored knowledge on EU Institutions and their projects, many experts from the sector were teaching us and sharing their experiences.

After the Master I had the chance to win a Leonardo Grant and Pixel organized my internship at University of Luxembourg related to the development of an interesting project in Learning & Education.

Unfortunately they cannot extend my internship but for me it was a great experience because I discovered Luxembourg and his great job market opportunities, nevertheless the importance of networking. For me it was a key asset to develop my career: I started working in some important Banks and since one year I work for the EIB in the Mandate Services division (ex JESSICA Investment Funds from the Commission),in the end I finally end up in an European contest.

I would recommend this Master if you are interested in knowing better this EU world and to go abroad for the internship because there are great chances to take."
