Poland is a top destination from Spain, Portugal, and Italy, especially when it comes to trips under the Erasmus+ program. […] Considering that these people later work in highly skilled industries, such an ambassador for the Polish labor market is a good bargaining chip. Unfortunately, that is where our incentives end. In the mind of the average European, Poland basically does not exist. We do not invest in such solutions, we do not advertise ourselves.
