Internships guide
International internships are not reserved for university students. The correct route depends on your employment status, nationality, destination and whether an organisation can provide the required agreement.
Student and non-student routes
Jobseeker options exist
Public and private organisers
Visa rules vary
University Erasmus+ placements normally require enrolment. Other routes—such as PRAXES, selected OFQJ schemes, vocational mobility or structured private placements—may accept recent graduates, jobseekers or people outside higher education.
Some projects are organised through employment services, Missions Locales or accredited mobility organisations. They may include funding and administrative support, but you generally cannot apply as a completely independent candidate: a sending organisation must validate the project.
Confirm the internship agreement, remuneration, insurance, visa, working hours and who supervises the placement. A commercial placement provider and a government mobility programme do not offer the same safeguards or funding.
Always verify the current rules. Immigration conditions, quotas, funding and application periods can change. Use the official source linked from the individual programme page before applying.
