You may work from 2 to 6 months.

You have the opportunity to work hospitality: kitchen assistant, room maid, waiter, bar person, reception, laundry personnel, animator, maintenance staff, general assistant, restaurant employee etc. (Other areas available).
Do I have to speak Portuguese to apply for the programme?
Participants with an advanced level of Portuguese may commence with the practical training programme without the need to attend a language course. If the participant needs to improve language skills before commencing the practical training period, Global Choices can offer the possibility of studying in recognized language schools with a maximum of 10 pupils in each class.
