Poland Work Permit Training

Course Description

Poland is one of Central Europe's most dynamic and fastest growing economies and it has been actively recruiting internationally for years, particularly in manufacturing, IT, construction, logistics, healthcare, and agriculture. Poland's work permit system is managed at the regional level through the Voivode (regional governor's office), and it has specific procedural requirements that differ significantly from other EU countries. This course teaches immigration professionals the full Polish work permit process, including the popular seasonal and regular permit categories, so clients are guided correctly from day one.
