Simply by filling out a form indicating your preferences or requirements ELSA will provide candidates through its extensive European network that match the criteria you require.
“Our law firm has had only one experience with STEP. Last year we provided a traineeship for a hungarian graduate. It is difficult to make any conclusions on the basis of one experience, but I would say that STEP met my expectations. The expectations were to bring a foreign element into our office, because we are a Czech office. I think it was a good experience and we decided to offer another STEP traineeship this sumer. We really recomend STEP!“
