A chance to change your life, discover your strength, and see how far your talent can take you.
Imagine waking up in Denmark — a global leader in modern agriculture — knowing that every day you’ll learn something new, build real skills, and grow into the agricultural professional you dream of becoming. This internship isn’t just work experience. It’s confidence, independence, and a future you can be proud of.

You’ll return home not just with new skills — but with new stories, new friendships, and a new sense of who you are.

🌾 Who Can Apply?
Applicants from most countries can apply directly to agri LIDA®.
However, for certain countries, applications are only accepted through an official agri LIDA® partner or authorized representative. This required application pathway helps ensure:
- Local Support – Guidance and assistance throughout the application process.
- Document Verification – Proper verification of educational and personal documents.
- Regulatory Compliance – Compliance with programme requirements and applicable Danish immigration regulations.
If agri LIDA® requires applications from a particular country to be submitted through an official partner, but no official partner has yet been appointed in that country, we are currently unable to process applications from that country.
