Quite often, such relocation is supported by a relocation service, which assists internationally assigned personnel in finding and/or moving into a new house, organizing school for children, conducting local culture training and in general terms, supporting integration into the new location and/or culture. Individual members of skilled professions may also independently find work in other countries to which they are not native. In these cases, the support systems mentioned above may have to be found by themselves. Meanwhile, such relocation services companies for both corporations and individuals have become more and more accompanied with the internationalization.
