Erasmus+ is the EU education program for general and vocational training, youth and sport. It offers pupils, students, teachers and organisations the opportunity to gain international experience, acquire new skills and strengthen European cooperation.

Confido supports you in exploiting the full potential of Erasmus+ – from the Advice and application up to Organization of mobility, internships and cultural activities.

Below we answer the most frequently asked questions about Erasmus+ and our support.

Why Erasmus+ is the best opportunity for trainees

International experience right from the start

While many young people only go abroad after completing their training, Erasmus+ allows trainees to gain international professional experience early on. This experience not only builds confidence but also shows future employers that you're willing to think outside the box.

Improve career opportunities

An internship abroad is a strong asset to your resume. Employers in Germany and across Europe value trainees who:
  • have intercultural skills,
  • get to know foreign working methods,
  • Demonstrate teamwork and flexibility.

With Erasmus+, you stand out from other applicants and increase your chances of securing a job.
