Why do an internship abroad instead of at home?

You develop faster when the safety net is gone. Figuring out housing, a new culture, and a job in a language that isn't your first builds independence a local internship rarely asks of you. It's also simply a stronger, more memorable line on a CV.

How does the process actually work?

Four stages, start to finish. Explore covers orientation and destination choice. Match means introductions to trusted companies and interview preparation. Move handles housing, paperwork, and arrival logistics. Belong and Support gives you a local network and 24/7 support for the whole internship.

A one-time fee of €200, and that's it. No hidden fees added later, and it comes with a placement guarantee: if a company says no, we keep trying until you're placed somewhere you actually like.

Which countries can I actually go to right now?

Spain, Portugal, and Greece for this first cohort. Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Lisbon, Porto, Athens, and Thessaloniki. We're starting focused rather than spreading thin, and will expand once the first cohort is properly supported.

What happens if something goes wrong while I'm abroad?

You get a direct line to Valiyon for the entire internship, not just during the placement search. A housing issue, a company conflict, a personal emergency: you have someone to call, any time, until you're home again.

Your journey
our mission.

Going abroad for your internship shouldn't feel like a second job search. We match you with trusted companies across Europe, handle the boring paperwork, and stay reachable the whole way, so you can just focus on actually enjoying it.

— The Problem

The struggle of finding international experience.

Finding an internship abroad is honestly kind of a mess: random job boards, emails that never get answered, a pile of visa and insurance stuff nobody bothers to explain, and then still having to figure out if it's all even legit or safe once you get there. It's not you, it's just not set up for students to figure out alone. Valiyon was born to fix that, so going abroad feels doable instead of overwhelming. We know, because we went through it ourselves.

The Endless Scroll

You open another job board, scroll for an hour, and still end up with three tabs open, zero replies, and the same uncertainty you started with.

An Overload of Paperwork

Visas, insurance, university credit requirements: each with its own rules, deadlines, and forms, and nobody who actually explains how they fit together.

Is This Even Legit?

You find a listing that looks promising, but there's no way to know if the company is real, if the role is what they say it is, or if you'd actually be safe once you got there.

The Hidden Costs

You've budgeted for flights and rent, and then the extra fees start appearing: admin costs, service charges, expenses nobody mentioned until you'd already said yes.

Where Do I Even Live?

Finding a room in a city you've never visited, in a language you don't speak, without knowing if it's even safe, becomes its own job before the internship has even started.

Not Knowing Who To Call

It's 11pm, something's gone wrong, and you're scrolling through your contacts with no idea who's actually supposed to help. Your landlord? Your university? The company? You're stuck guessing, and end up having to fix it all by yourself.
