International Luksia

Luksia has been granted the Erasmus+ VET Mobility Charter by the Finnish National Agency for the Erasmus+ programme until 2027. Earlier Luksia has engaged in many international projects and networks.

Our main focus in internationalization is to provide Erasmus+ mobilities for students as part of their studies. We also organize international mobilities for staff members. Luksia is a member of international networks, such as EfVET and Finnish Canada network and participates in international Skills competitions.

Hosting students, staff, and visitors

Luksia is an experienced host in student and staff mobilities. At the moment, we focus on co-operation with our current international partners.

Students

Luksia hosts individuals and groups of students for international mobilities. Usually, the mobilities are practical training in local companies.

Staff mobilities

We host individual staff members or small groups from our partner schools. All visits are planned carefully a couple of months before.

Other groups

Occasionally we are able to host visitors from other than our partner schools, depending on availability. We charge a fee for hosting visitors according to our fixed price list.
