Erasmus+ Internships is the reference programme if the destination is a European country, although it allows internships around the world with a minimum duration of three months. These internships can be curricular, extracurricular and as a person who has just graduated. The inclusion strategy of the Erasmus programme provides that profiles of people with fewer opportunities can obtain additional funding: also people with serious illnesses, with exemption from academic fees and other situations.
With regard to the UAB Exchange Programme Traineeships, it allows students to undertake curricular and extracurricular internships in any country of the world with a duration of 30 days. The signing of the agreements within the framework of this program is done with a biometric digital signature system that allows the document to be signed electronically from any electronic device, which facilitates the procedures.
The Employment Service of the UAB, in charge of managing both programs, has already published on the website the call for both programs in a clear, visual and interactive way. Among all the information you can find a scholarship simulator where students can introduce the typology of their current studies, the country where they want to go and for how long to find out what program they have to request.
With these programs, the UAB promotes the international mobility of its students, aware of the importance that this has for their professional future: according to the Study on the Impact of Erasmus, 64% of the business community believe that having made a mobility experience is an important factor when hiring people.
Erasmus+ Internships is part of the European Erasmus+ mobility program of the European Commission, and the SEPIE (Spanish Service for the Internationalization of Education) distributes funds to Spain. The UAB Exchange Programme Traineeships, on the other hand, is a university-specific and exclusive programme that offers more temporary flexibility in the length of stays.
Walking to do an internship or working abroad is a project that requires planning and a clear definition of the objectives, reflecting on where you want to go, when and for how long, what linguistic knowledge can be accredited and what jobs can be done. Depending on the proposed objectives, work is done on qualified work, unqualified and/or temporary work or to do internships, paid or not. On the website you will find all the necessary information and a document of recommendations to guide this search.
