Mobility for trainership
Erasmus+ supports traineeships (work placements, internships) abroad at any workplace for students currently enrolled in higher education institutions in Programme Countries at short-cycle Bachelor and Master level as well as for doctoral candidates.
These opportunities are also open to recent graduates.
By doing a traineeship abroad, you can greatly improve your knowledge, skills and competences that employers are looking for. Also, one in ten of Erasmus+ trainees have created their own company!
The Erasmus Intern Traineeship Portal, developed by the Erasmus Student Network, can help you find Erasmus+ traineeships opportunities from companies.
Duration
Traineeships abroad can receive Erasmus+ support from 2 to 12 months.
​
Students and recent graduates can also do a blended mobility, which means combining a short physical stay abroad (between 5 and 30 days) with a virtual period.
​
Trainees can also combine an Erasmus+ traineeship with a study period abroad.
Conditions
Erasmus+ traineeships are open to any student enrolled in a higher education institution holding an Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education.
​
The traineeship must be relevant for the degree-related learning and personal development needs and, wherever possible, be integrated in the study programme.
​
A traineeship can take place at any organisation located anywhere in the world (with the exception of EU institutions, bodies and agencies).
How to apply
You can apply through the international or Erasmus+ office of your higher education institution.
