Practical Private Equity / Venture Capital training is a unique educational project. The leading Poland-based private equity and venture capital firms partnered with the Next Gen Committee of the Polish Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (PSIK) and Level20 to create this initiative. The project strives to shape the next generation of private equity professionals by giving access to practical knowledge about PE & VC through a series of online workshops led by seasoned market practitioners. Workshops, run as a series of lectures and case studies, will focus on the fundamentals of PE & VC, valuations, deal-making, financing, value creation, exits, and career paths in private equity.

The committee will select top candidates with a genuine interest in private equity. While all students with a strong interest in private equity are encouraged to apply, the committee will focus on candidates matching the following criteria:

• Students of Master programs or at least 2nd year of Bachelor programs in Finance, Management, Economics, or related fields and/or

• previous internships in Investment Banking, Strategy Consulting, Private Equity, Venture Capital, or related fields, and
• track record of academic excellence and participation in international exchange programs,
• fluency in English.
