General information
- Short Summary
- A Spanish vocational training institute is seeking European IT companies or departments to host students in their final year of Web Application Development studies under the Erasmus+ 2025 mobility programme. The collaboration aims to strengthen skills in web and mobile development and foster international cooperation in ICT education.
- Full Description
-
This is a public vocational education and training (VET) centre that coordinates an Erasmus+ mobility project (Ref. 2025-KA131-HED-000323774) aimed at promoting international collaboration in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
Within this framework, the institute is seeking European IT companies or organizations with active software development departments interested in hosting students for three-month internships (March–May 2026).
The students are in their final year of the Advanced Vocational Training in Web Application Development (official qualification by the Spanish Ministry of Education). They are trained in:
Front-end and back-end web development (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Java, C#).
Database management (SQL / NoSQL).
UX/UI design and responsive web and mobile interfaces.
The hosting companies will collaborate in developing real-world ICT projects while promoting European cooperation in digital innovation and education.
Expected outcomes of the collaboration:
Foster international mobility and digital skill development among young professionals.
Support innovation in web technologies and cross-border cooperation.
Establish long-term partnerships between European ICT firms and educational institutions.
All students travel with Erasmus+ mobility grants and are covered by mandatory medical and labour insurance. The collaboration is non-remunerated but compatible with voluntary financial contributions from the host company. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Hosting Erasmus+ trainees offers multiple benefits for IT companies and departments.
Strategic and business advantages: Interns bring fresh ideas, innovative approaches, and updated digital skills that enhance competitiveness and creativity. They provide insights into their local cultures and markets, supporting internationalisation and adaptation to new business contexts. Hosting motivated young talent also strengthens team dynamics and allows companies to identify potential future employees — more than one-third of Erasmus+ interns receive job offers after their placements.
Operational and HR benefits: Interns contribute to daily ICT operations, such as web or mobile development and testing, under supervision, offering real support to ongoing projects. Staff members who act as mentors enhance their leadership, communication, and team management skills. Trainees often possess strong multilingual and digital competencies, which are valuable assets in global IT environments.
Visibility and networking advantages: Participation in Erasmus+ demonstrates commitment to education, innovation, and European cooperation, improving corporate reputation. It also facilitates access to international networks of training centres, universities, and technology firms, paving the way for future collaborations. Moreover, active participation provides recognition within the EU framework, reinforcing the company’s visibility as a socially responsible and innovation-oriented organisation.
Economic advantages: Since Erasmus+ covers mobility and living costs, host companies face minimal or no financial obligations. - Sustainable Development Goals
