E@I serĉas novajn kandidatojn por staĝantoj! Se vi interesiĝas, kontaktu nin (detaloj en suba ligilo). Se vi konas iun, kiu eble emus partopreni, plusendu la informon al koncernaj personoj/kluboj. Helpu al ni trovi staĝantojn (aŭ fariĝu mem staĝanto :) kaj vi helpos al E-komunumo kreski, agadi, profesiiĝi. Ne nepre devas temi nur pri staĝo dum somero - la staĝo povas daŭri inter 3 kaj 12 monatoj kaj povas okazi iam ajn ekde junio de unu jaro ĝis septembro de la sekva jaro. Kutime studento prenas unu aŭ du semestrojn kaj pasigas ilin per la staĝo, ĉar la universitato ja donas al li por partopreno en staĝo studpoentojn; sed eblas ja staĝi ankaŭ nur dum la somero, se oni respektas la minimuman longecon de la restado. Detalaj informoj ĉi tie.
