Erasmus+ Vocational Education and Training: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access grants for international work placements and specialized training through the Erasmus+ vocational program.
This program provides funding to help people in vocational training gain international experience through work placements and specialized learning. It is designed to help tradespeople and technical professionals access global training standards and upgrade their technical certifications through international mobility.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for vocational students and staff members living in participating countries. It is built for those looking to gain international work experience or specialized vocational training that can help them advance their technical skills and professional standing.
What you get
You can receive grants to fund your international work placements and training sessions. These grants are intended to support your ability to move between countries to gain hands-on experience. This helps you access different technical standards and gain a broader perspective on how your trade is practiced globally.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary fee to apply for the scheme. However, the process requires time and effort to coordinate through your home institution. You cannot apply directly to the program organizers; instead, you must manage your application through your own school or training center.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that access is limited. You can only participate if your specific educational institution or training provider is officially part of the Erasmus+ network. If your school is not a member of this network, you will not be eligible for these specific grants.
How to apply
- Confirm with your school or training provider that they are part of the Erasmus+ network.
- Contact the administration or the specific department at your home institution that handles international placements.
- Complete the internal application process required by your school to be considered for a grant.
