Erasmus+ for traineeship
The help desk receives the public by appointment only
Within the framework of individual mobility, Erasmus + provides for two sub-programmes: the Erasmus+ for study programme, to study at a foreign higher education institution, and the Erasmus+ for traineeship programme, to carry out a traineeship at a foreign company.
Traineeships are aimed at students currently enrolled and those who are close to completing their degree, and may be carried out up to 12 months after graduation.
With Erasmus+, those who leave for traineeship purposes receive a differentiated EU grant in relation to the cost of living in the destination country.
It is possible to take part in Erasmus for up to twelve months for each study cycle (bachelor's, master's, PhD school), regardless of the type of experience (both study and traineeship), including for those who have already undertaken a training experience under the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP).
It is possible to apply during the final year of the course and then undertake and complete the traineeship experience abroad within one year of graduation (to be counted within the overall twelve months of the cycle).
All information regarding requirements, documents, deadlines and how to submit the application can be found in the call for applications published on this page.
The Programme makes language courses available to participants on the EU Academy online platform. The initial language assessment test is compulsory in the working language; participants will receive instructions for accessing and completing the test on the EU Academy platform before departure.
In addition to the test, a wide range of activities aimed at learning a new language or improving a language already known will be available to be carried out during the mobility period.
The key strength is that the activities have been designed to adapt as effectively as possible to the specific needs of each user. This means that users will be able to benefit from a tailored learning experience at their own pace.
