ErasmusPRO
ErasmusPRO is part of the mobility opportunities offered to students in the Education and Professional Training sector. This programme aims to allow students to have a professional experience abroad, in order to put the knowledge developed in the school context into practice in a working context.
ErasmusPRO is relatively recent and there is not a lot of information about it, so if you are interested and meet the requirements, you should contact your educational institution, since they are responsible for making applications to send and receive students.
