Traineeship
A traineeship (work placement, internship) abroad in an enterprise, a research institute, a laboratory, an organization, or any other relevant workplace is supported in any study cycle. The minimum and the maximum duration for traineeship is 2 months to 12 months. Wherever possible, the traineeships should be an integrated part of the student’s study program.
No bilateral agreement is requested between the sent Institution (HMU in our case) and the receiving organization for an HMU student to implement his/her traineeship period. The receiving organization can be:
- a public or private, a small, medium, or large enterprise
- a public body at the local, regional or national level
- embassies or consular offices of the sending Program Countries (in our case the Greek Embassies or Consular Offices)
- a social partner or other representatives of working life, including chambers of commerce, craft/professional associations, and trade unions
- a research institute
- a foundation
- a school / institute / educational center
- a non-profit organization, association, NGO
- a body providing career guidance, professional counseling, and information services
