Penki kontinentai Group and SMK have been cooperating for several years. This partnership is important in training students seeking to find their place in the professional world.

As practice has shown, young people who take internships in partner companies such as Penki kontinentai Group learn their professions much faster. They get not only valuable knowledge and experience but also an opportunity to establish business connections for finding a job in the future. In turn, for Penki kontinentai Group it is a chance to find promising specialists among students who can later become an integral part of the team.

Penki kontinentai Group also supports young people through cooperation with other educational institutions, such as Vilnius Coding School and Vilnius College of Technology and Design. Through such initiatives, the company provides students with an important start in their careers, allowing them to feel confident and prepared in a professional environment.
