I am sincerely grateful to Moscow for such an initiative, as well as to the project staff who help us in the job search process. I hope that this project will become large-scale so that foreigners from all over the world will have the opportunity not only to work in Moscow, but also to visit such a beautiful country as Russia.

The attitude towards participants is at the highest level. The stuff treats you with respect and answers all the questions at any time. The project is very good, since I myself know how difficult it is for foreign students to find a job in Moscow, especially if you want to combine it with studies.

To ensure that you don't experience a gap between your university education and employment, we will arrange a suitable internship related to your field of study. Once you graduate, we will assist you in signing an employment contract with a company, obtaining the necessary documents for employment, and finding suitable accommodation instead of a dormitory.
Typical scenario
Start in Moscow
A foreign student graduates from a university without any relevant work experience in their field of study
Due to citizenship, language barriers, or lack of experience, they are unable to find a relevant job
A graduate leaves Moscow because they couldn’t find a job
A foreign student gets an internship related to their field of study
Upon graduation, they already gain practical experience and receive recommendations from a high-tech company
After completing the internship, a graduate officially secures a job either at the same place or in a different company.

Assisting an employer in making arrangements in compliance with the law to avoid fines and troubles
Hiring a foreigner is more difficult than hiring a Russian citizen. Companies often avoid employing foreigners due to two primary reasons. Firstly, the extensive amount of paperwork involved in the process. Secondly, the lack of knowledge about registering a skilled foreign employee in Russia without incurring a fine.

Excursion: Kyiv railway station, bridges and facades in the perspective of the Moscow River
The Dorogomilovo district is the western gate of Moscow. Since ancient times, roads to Smolensk, Mozhaisk, and Zvenigorod started here. First, coachmen settled here, then industrialists, they were replaced by artists, and in the 20th century these places were chosen by the creative and political elite. This feature determined the architectural appearance of the area. Meeting point: Exit 5 of the Kyivskaya metro station (circular). The duration of the excursion is 2-2.5 hours.
