What Is Erasmus+ Internship Mobility?
It is the internship of a student enrolled in a higher education institution in a business abroad. "Internship" is the process by which a beneficiary receives vocational training and/or experience of working within a business or organization in another country participating in the program.
The internship activity is for the student to gain practical work experience in the field of vocational education in which he / she is studying.
The internship is not expected to be compulsory for the student's diploma program. However, the economic sector to be interned should be a sector related to the student's current vocational education program.
Who Can Participate?
The internship activity can be carried out in each class during the education period and within 12 months after the graduation of the students in the last year of the education programs. The application must be made before the student graduates (while he/she is already an associate, undergraduate or graduate student) in the internship activity to be carried out after graduation. Graduated students cannot apply.
After graduation, the duration of the internship and the mobility period of the student at the same level should not exceed 12 months.

Student Selection

Students who cannot be elected in the previous year due to lack of grants or other reasons cannot be sent directly to the next year by being transferred as “earned rights”. The students who will participate in the program are re-evaluated and selected for each agreement term, providing all the requirements for selection.
The announcement Process, Selection and evaluation of the contract period is done in the application manual framework.
Grants
