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.
