What is an Erasmus+ Traineeship?
An Erasmus + Traineeship is an internship/traineeship (minimum 2 months, maximum 12 months) in a company or organization (public or private) in the Program Countries that may be supported by a mobility grant. We pay the mobility grants for two months only. The mobility grants are never guaranteed or meant to cover the full cost of the stay.
