A group, as many as 30 students from Zvolen, Slovakia, came to Málaga in October for a work placement. 12 mechanical engineers, 5 CNC, 10 electricians, 3 car mechanics spent three weeks in the coastal city.

Among other things, they worked in garages, both as car mechanics and as electronics specialists, fitting equipment such as audio inside cars. Others worked in 3D design companies, which the students agree allowed them to be creative and realise their ideas. Still, others had the chance to prove themselves as service technicians for submarine machines and other industrial machines.

They spent their free time exploring Andalusia, discovering the charms of Granada, the last bastion of Moorish rule in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as Córdoba, famous for its patios festival and its captivating cathedral, which was once a mosque.

In order to get a fully Spanish experience, the students also went to a tapas night, where they were able to taste local delicacies and learn about the tapas’ eating culture. During this experience, they were able to test in practice their knowledge of Spanish language, which they had learnt on the course they attended during the project.

We are sure that the participants in this project have gained new experiences and honed their skills and, who knows, maybe even found their perfect place(ment)….
