The Erasmus+ site has some brief but informative information
The official Erasmus website has clear instructions, tips and resources on all things internships. Although limited and short, you can rest assured that the content that you are consuming is accurate (straight from the horses’ mouth).
Primarily, you can use this site for accurate information about this years’ Erasmus+. While other tools are useful for general information. There will be nothing more up to date than the Erasmus + site itself.
Our suggestion is that you use it as a tool to verify information. If you have heard something in a couple of places but aren’t sure of its legitimacy, check the official site for clarification.
LinkedIn can be an excellent tool to find an Erasmus+ internship.
Secondly, another great tool to find an Erasmus+ internship is LinkedIn. Its excellent search engine helps you can find people and communities discussing the industry.
LinkedIn is a tool full of industry professionals. You have a high chance of finding someone who knows what they are talking about. People are quick to help on LinkedIn, however, you may find people incredibly confident on outdated information. Always double check your facts.
LinkedIn is a great tool to use to find Erasmus+ organisations as well. There are lots of pages, groups and people to help you out. Yet, we think the best part about using LinkedIn is the fact that you can talk directly to people involved.
Organisations often have a section with people who are involved. Talking to people directly from companies mean that you can get in contact with people directly, meaning that they will be more likely to respond and help.
Facebook – as a tool for finding like-minded communities
There are some great Facebook groups all about Erasmus. You can find people who are on or about to start their Erasmus journey. Even though Facebook may seem outdated, there are millions of people still using it. Erasmus groups, in special, are impressively active. You can use it to get specific information from multiple people. Making it one of the best tools to help you find an Erasmus+ internship.
People at all stages of their Erasmus trip are happy to help and give you the latest news. But check the pages and groups are up-to-date because information can change a lot.
