Erasmus+ practical trainings
The web platform "ErasmusIntern.org" was designed and published by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) in cooperation with the European Commission.
It aims to give students the opportunity to carry out a stay abroad in the framework of Erasmus+ Student Mobility - Placements Abroad (SMP) and to give them easier access to companies all over Europe. On the one hand, students can offer their person and thus also their respective key competences as Erasmus+ trainees. On the other hand, organisations or companies can create a profile and offer a traineeship (or several) in their company. Various search criteria (e.g. destination country, field of study, length of stay or desired language skills) are used to facilitate the placement process. Students and companies can contact each other directly if they are interested.
The platform is very practical and easy to use. In order to use "ErasmusIntern" effectively, a login with email address and password is required.
Have fun discovering and being discovered!

Information for practical trainings in the USA
Organising a practical training in the USA, i.e. finding an employer, preparing and carrying out the trip, is just as easy or difficult as in other countries. However, there are some things to consider regarding the visa application, health insurance, etc.
Health insurance
Only health insurance that has a set minimum standard is accepted, e.g.:
- medical benefits per accident or illness 50,000 US dollars
- repatriation of remains 7,500 US dollars
- medical evacuation to the home country 10,000 US dollars
- deductible not in excess of 500 US dollars
The insurance company must be able to issue an appropriate insurance certificate in English.
visa
All trainees need the J1 visa. To apply for this form of visa, a preliminary document is required, the DS-2019 form, which you can only obtain from an authorised institution. Institutions that can prepare the DS-2019 form include:
- German Academic Chamber of Commerce, California
- TravelWorks
- Association for International Practical Training
- College Council
- Interswop
- Ayusa-Intrax
We recommend that you compare the services and prices of the organisations listed.
To apply for a visa, you will usually need to prove the availability of US$1500 per month plus travel expenses.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) charges a fee of about $200 as the so-called "SEVIS fee". This fee is a contribution to the funding of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) database system and must be paid before applying for the visa, preferably immediately after receiving the DS-2019 form. The fee is non-refundable even if the visa is not granted. However, you can then apply for the visa again within 12 months without having to pay the fee again. The visa can only be applied for once proof of payment has been received. For more information on the SEVIS fee, please contact DHS here.
