Erasmus + Traineeship
A traineeship is a period of time spent by a student in a company or other organisation in an Erasmus+ eligible country.
The aim of a traineeship is to give individuals the opportunity to better adapt to the requirements of the labour market, to acquire professional and practical skills and to gain a deeper understanding of the economic and social conditions of the host country.
Traineeships abroad can be supported by Erasmus+ for a period of between 2 and 12 months.
The traineeship must be relevant to the student's field of study as well as to his/her specific conditions for qualification development.
The host organisation of the traineeship can be any public or private enterprise, non-profit organisation, start-up company, educational organisation, association, ministry, embassy, research institute, archive. The only exceptions are organisations that are directly managed by the EU, such as the European Parliament, the European Commission, national agencies, national banks. These institutions are not eligible for Erasmus+ traineeships as they have their own trainee programmes.
Erasmus+ traineeship offers can be found on the Erasmus Intern Traineeship Portal.
