HOSTING PROJECTS 


Work placement ​mobility

School ​mobility

Visits


One of ZNI’s main activities is hosting international students for work placements in Slovenia. Alongside this, we also organise school mobilities and visits, with a strong focus on including participants with fewer opportunities and special needs.

ZNI is committed to providing a holistic mobility experience, ensuring high-quality accommodation, mentoring, and continuous support throughout the programme.
Students are guided at every stage of their stay.

To monitor progress, students submit weekly reports and take part in bi-weekly mentoring meetings with their ZNI mentor. At the end of the mobility, a final evaluation meeting is held to assess outcomes and improve future projects.

Why work with ZNI?
• Comprehensive hosting services: English-speaking work placements, preparation activities, accommodation, local transport, language courses, 24/7 assistance, and complete documentation.
• Proven expertise: As both a sending and hosting organisation, we understand the priorities of our partners and aim for long-term, high-quality cooperation.
• Great location: Slovenia is safe, budget-friendly, centrally located in Europe, and known for its green environment.

We look forward to creating meaningful mobility experiences for your participants in Slovenia. 

Mobility experience in SLOVENIA

There are various possibilities for mobility in Slovenia, depending first on participants' knowledge, skills, and motivation, and secondly, on their needs, desires, and fields of interest. We specialize in programs for students, organizing work experiences in enterprises or working organizations in Slovenia. Additionally, we arrange programs for teachers and tutors who come to Slovenia for training visits, job shadowing, and the exchange of best practices. We continually develop our structure and forge new partnerships with local partners across different industries. There is almost no area that cannot be covered by ZNI.
ZNI acts as an intermediary organization and provides comprehensive services for participants. The placements are hosted by our partners, located across Slovenia, primarily in Maribor, Ptuj, Celje, Slovenska Bistrica, and Murska Sobota. We cover a wide range of industries and areas, including business, IT, marketing, media, mechanics, tourism, hospitality, green energy, social work, care, youth work, architecture, civil engineering, agriculture, environment, and more. Work practice is predominantly conducted in English.
Our advantage lies in the presence of bilingual regions in Slovenia where German, Croatian, Italian, and Hungarian languages are spoken. For participants with lower proficiency in English, work placements in these areas can be a valuable opportunity. Slovenia is also a budget-friendly country with many advantages for students, including affordable meals and tickets. Moreover, it is easy to travel across Slovenia due to its compact size and transportation infrastructure. Numerous European cities are located within a 1-4 hour drive from Slovenia, including Graz, Zagreb, Trieste, Venice, Vienna, and Budapest.

MOBILITY PROGRAM IS:
  • A valuable opportunity for learning,
  • time for self-development and the discovery of your talents,
  • an opportunity to cultivate your work attitude,
  • a chance to become more flexible, adaptable, open-minded, self-confident, and responsible,
  • an investment of your energy and time for your future life.

POSITIVE EFFECTS OF MOBILITY EXPERIENCE:
+ Readiness for life in a future multicultural society.
+ Preparation of the new generation for living in a globalized world.
+ Flexibility of the workforce.
+ Encouragement of changes and modernization in all aspects of life.
+ Flow and sharing of knowledge between institutions.
+ Exchange and circulation of ideas.
+ Deepening the sense of European identity and citizenship.
+ Breaking down barriers between people and groups.
