Erasmus+ traineeship: How I found a position and prepared for the journey
Finding a traineeship
Keep in mind that there are three application rounds in each academic year and we can apply for the grant via the Mobility-Online system. The funny story is, I applied and got offered the grant in spring 2018, but my process of finding a traineeship took months, and I only started working in summer 2019. I personally found that the difficult part is not getting the grant, but getting the traineeship that suits you.
Here are some of my own tips and useful suggestions for traineeship search:
1. Have a clear idea of what kind of traineeship you want to do and where you want to be.
2. Check your university emails. Tampere University’s Erasmus office provides a huge help as they often forward traineeship offers to all students who recently got Erasmus+ grants.
3. I actually got my traineeship position thanks to one of my friend’s recommendation. So yes, connect with other students, especially ones who also got Erasmus+ traineeship grants.
4. If you are interested in working for a particular company but don’t see that they are hiring trainees, don’t hesitate to send them an email introducing yourself and your current situation of holding an Eramus+ grant.
5. Don’t be shy to ask for help from your supervisor, professor and faculty coordinator. They are people who have various contacts in their academic field and might know if there is an opportunity around.
6. Some student associations offer really good traineeship programmes such as AIESEC, IAESTE, FiMSIC (for medical students), ELSA (for law students). 7. Some useful websites: Eramus Intern.org; The European jobs network EURES; Erasmus In School; Aarresaari.net 📝Sophie Nguyen 🔗
