Digital Opportunity traineeships

Last updated on Wednesday, 21/10/2020

The Digital Opportunity traineeship initiative provides cross-border higher education traineeships for students and recent graduates.

It is financed by the Horizon 2020 programme and implemented through Erasmus+ with the aim of giving students of all disciplines the opportunity to get hands-on digital experience in fields demanded by the market.

Who can apply

• Students from universities in the Erasmus+ programme countries and Horizon 2020 associated countries;
• Recent graduates within 12 months after graduation can apply too, provided that they have applied before the graduation.

How to apply

Candidates apply through their university, according to the timing and procedures established by the university for Erasmus+ traineeships.

Grant

The trainees receive an average allowance of €500/month but the exact amount depends on the country and the duration of 2-12 months, in line with Erasmus+ rules and procedures.
Companies are not involved in the transaction but they can top up this grant.
 
Look for available vacancies on Eures and on the Erasmus Intern website.
