Why should I participate?

It has been proven that students who participate in international mobility programmes are more and better prepared to face the current and future global world.

How can I find a company in which to do my traineeship?

• Check the list of websites where you can look for work experience online.
• Contact the companies you are interested in directly
• Check out the list of available destinations and universities at your faculty.

We recommend you make yourself stand out by telling the company that you can join them through the Erasmus+ Traineeship programme, which will help facilitate the administrative process.
