5. Erasmus+
5.2. Mobility opportunities for VET students
Erasmus+ supports traineeships (work placements or study periods abroad) for students currently enrolled in vocational education and training (VET). These opportunities are also open to company-based apprentices and to recent graduates. Trainees will be hosted either in a workplace or in another VET institution with periods of work-based learning as part of their studies.
Watch a video about five Danish students from Kold College who went to Portugal for three weeks for a school and work placement:
