HOW CAN I FIND A TRAINEESHIP PLACEMENT?
The Consortium, with the support of all partner institutions, will provide assistance to students starting from the application stage and throughout the post-mobility process.
The Consortium will be directly involved in the traineeship search process for selected students. However, since finding a placement depends on company expectations, it cannot be guaranteed that a placement will be secured for every student. Therefore, students are also expected to actively participate in the traineeship search process themselves.

GRANT AMOUNTS

  • Grants are paid to students in two installments. The first installment corresponds to 80% of the total grant amount. The second installment is paid after the mobility, provided that the student has completed the required documents and procedures, and achieved academic success (successfully completing at least half of the credits taken). Deductions will be made from the second installment if these requirements are not met.
  • During the traineeship mobility, if the host company is closed due to holidays, the traineeship may be interrupted. Grants will still be paid for the period when the company is closed; however, the closure period will not be added to the total mobility duration. In order to meet the minimum duration requirement, students must check in advance the holiday periods of the host company and ensure that the minimum duration is met even after deducting these days. Weekend holidays are not considered as periods to be deducted from the mobility duration.
  • In case of force majeure (any exceptional situation or event beyond the control of the parties that prevents one of the parties from fulfilling its obligations), mobilities that cannot reach the minimum duration will be accepted if the force majeure is duly documented, and the grant will be paid corresponding to the completed period.
  • If students return before completing the minimum duration for reasons other than force majeure, the activity will be considered invalid and no grant will be paid.
  • Students who wish may waive financial support.
  • In addition to grants for study and traineeship mobility, travel support is also provided to students for round-trip travel between program countries.

 

TRAVEL SUPPORT
In order to contribute to students’ travel expenses, the distance in kilometers between the starting point of the mobility and the host location must be calculated using the distance calculator provided by the European Commission. The travel grant should then be determined based on the table below.

The grant amount indicated in the table corresponds to the round-trip amount for the calculated distance band and is not multiplied by two.
