Furthermore, according to Aequo, "law students of Ukrainian universities from all over the country will be the first to benefit from the project. Aequo opens the first internship program in a new innovative format for young talents who successfully pass the pre-selection. Students will interact with mentors through a platform by receiving assignments and feedback online. Herewith, a student will be able to choose assignments by type of work and practice that will help to make the right career choice, gain experience while working on landmark projects and become a member of AEQUO Friends community. Such collaboration offers an opportunity for students to continue their studies in comfort mode and arrange their internship most efficiently."
