Poland’s Paid Internships for Its Diaspora: Work, Earn, and Reconnect!

Poland has recently launched a program offering three-month paid internships to individuals of Polish descent living abroad. These internships, scheduled from July to November 2025, aim to strengthen ties with the Polish diaspora and provide participants with valuable professional experience within Polish companies, including state-owned enterprises and international firms operating in Poland. ​

This initiative reflects Poland's ongoing efforts to encourage expatriates to return and contribute to the nation's development. The government has been actively inviting Poles living abroad to resettle in Poland, emphasizing the mutual benefits of their return. ​

For Polish expatriates considering this opportunity, organizations like Move to Poland can provide essential support. Navigating the relocation process, understanding local regulations, and securing suitable internships can be challenging. Move to Poland specializes in assisting individuals of Polish origin in making a smooth transition back to their ancestral homeland, offering services tailored to their unique needs.​

In addition to government programs, various organizations facilitate internships in Poland. For instance, AIESEC organizes internship placements, and IAESTE arranges opportunities in engineering and technical fields. Furthermore, platforms like Go Overseas provide information on diverse internship opportunities across Poland. ​

Embarking on an internship in Poland not only allows individuals to reconnect with their cultural roots but also to gain valuable work experience in a rapidly developing European economy. With the support of specialized organizations and government initiatives, the path to returning and integrating into Polish society has become more accessible than ever.​

For those interested in exploring these opportunities, now is an opportune time to consider the possibilities that await in Poland.
