Erasmus for Young<br />

Entrepreneurs<br />

Why did you participate in the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme? What was<br />

your main reason for joining?<br />

ZUID-LIMBURG BUSINESS PLAZA - EDITIE 3-<strong>2021</strong><br />

I was tired of studying at a Dutch University, almost finished with my studies, and<br />

looking for a way to enter the labour market in an international setting, possibly<br />

avoiding unpaid internships – which are unfortunately very common these days.<br />

During a job interview, I was suggested to look into the EYE program, and indeed it<br />

offered me a great possibility as not only I found a great job opportunity but also a<br />

chance to enrich my international educational/professional background.<br />

Where did you travel?<br />

It is kind of a strange situation for me as I travelled back to my home country, Italy,<br />

after living and studying in the Netherlands for the past two and a half years.<br />
