What are Erasmus actions? - Mobility of Individuals : Student Placements in Enterprises, Training Centres, Research Centres and Other Organisations


Objectives and description of the action
 

 
A placement is a period of time in an enterprise or organisation in another participating country, with a view to helping individuals to adapt to the requirements of the Community-wide labour market, to acquiring a specific skill and to improving understanding of the economic and social culture of the country concerned in the context of acquiring work experience. The period may be supported as appropriate by preparatory or refresher courses in the host language or working language.

Host organisations for student placements may be enterprises, training centres, research centres and other organisations.

The characteristics of the individual placements are:

  • The student must be provided with a Training Agreement regarding the programme of the placement period; this agreement must be endorsed by the home higher education institution and the host organisation
  • At the end of the period abroad, full recognition must be given by the home higher education institution for the period spent abroad as agreed in the Training Agreement.

The period of placement must be covered by a placement agreement between the student beneficiary and his/her home higher education institution. The Placement Agreement is based on the Training Agreement, a key part of which is the Quality Commitment of all parties relating to the placement.

Full details of the conditions for participation are contained in the general call for proposals relating to the academic year concerned.
