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. Companies can post their traineeships offers on the Erasmus Intern Traineeship Portal.
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. 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. Make sure you know your rights and obligations when you study or do a traineeship abroad.
