Participating Programme countries are divided into 3 Groups.

Erasmus+ grant amount provided to student depends on his/her mobility flow
(country of studies) –> (country of internship).

There are 3 types of mobility flows:

• Mobility towards a country with similar living costs (within the same group)
• Mobility towards a country with higher living costs (e.g. from Group 2 to Group 1)
• Mobility towards a country with lower living costs (e.g. from Group 1 to Group 2)

Applications for the United Kingdom:

The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 and is not a member of the EU anymore. The agreement on withdrawal allows the UK to participate in current Erasmus+ programme at the moment. Internships done in academic year 2020/2021 and in winter semester 2021/2022 can still be financed through the Erasmus+.

My Internship doesn’t plan to advertise any internships in the UK.

1. Paid internships – you offer regular salary paid monthly to the intern during the full duration of his/her internship with you (including employee labour costs and taxes)
2. Unpaid internships – you do not offer regular salary remuneration (no employee labour costs), but offer additional financial benefit(s) to prospective interns

In case of unpaid internships, we highly encourage you to award prospective interns with additional financial benefit(s) such as public transportation reimbursement, meal vouchers, accommodation allowance etc. It is solely your choice, how you decide to help your intern to cover the costs.

Our goal to provide high-quality internships, so we prioritise collaboration with employers open to offer additional perks (it will also attract more candidates). 

Any kind of remuneration is compatible with Erasmus+ grant.

Erasmus+ interns are responsible to to cover their own insurance.

The EU grant amount provided to student depends on their mobility flow:

Mobility towards a country with similar living costs (the same country group): Medium range EU grant between 270 – 470€/month topped up by additional amount of 100 – 200€/month for for students carrying out internships
Example: from Belgium to France

Mobility towards a country with higher living costs (towards a higher country group): Medium range plus at least 50€ and between 270-520€/month topped up by additional amount of 100 – 200€/month for for students carrying out internships
Example: from Bulgaria to Belgium

Mobility towards a country with lower living costs (towards a lower country group): Medium range minus at least 50€ and between 170-420€/month topped up by additional amount of 100 – 200€/month for for students carrying out internships
Example: from Finland to Belgium

Learning Agreement for Traineeships is a trilateral document setting out a detailed programme of the internship, information on insurance, internship recognition and rights and responsibilities of all parties. It needs to be signed by you as internship provider, your intern and home university.

Structure:

• General information about parties
• Before the mobility
  • Table A – Traineeship Programme at the Receiving Organisation/Enterprise
  • Table B – Sending Institution
  • Table C – Receiving Organisation/Enterprise
• During the mobility – For case of changes
• After the mobility = Traineeship Certificate – Confirming the results of the agreed programme

See blank template of Learning Agreement for Traineeships here.

Sending institutions – universities play a crucial role in Erasmus+ Traineeship Programme:

They ensure that

1. Provided internship is relevant for intern’s degree-related learning and approve the internship programme by signing Learning Agreement for Traineeships.
2. Administrative matters in preparation period regarding grant application are fulfilled.
3. Personal support from a contact person, usually an Erasmus+ coordinator, at the sending institution (university) is provided to the intern during the whole internship period.
4. Financial support is administered and paid to the intern.
5. Work placement is academically recognised (e.g. ECTS, Diploma Supplement or Transcript of Records)

My Internship is a digital career platform facilitating easier connection between students and employers. On one hand, it enables employers to advertise their internship vacancies, interact with candidates and recruit. On the other hand, it helps students/future graduates to find a host organisation in easier, faster and more transparent way. We tailor our internship offer and database of employers based on the demand of students.

We do NOT administer grant application/funding, nor provide assistance with administrative matters of Erasmus+ programme as the grant application process is university-specific.
