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!

In addition to a first professional experience after Abitur (university entrance qualification) or university studies, the DFFD enables young people to get to know the other country (and themselves) better, to improve their language skills and to support the institution in its daily work. Volunteers should have a basic knowledge of the respective foreign language. They receive a monthly allowance, are covered by health insurance and are entitled to 2 days' holiday per month. The maximum weekly working time is 30 hours.

What period of time are we talking about?

Cultural Vistas offers various internship programmes abroad, including programmes for German students and graduates interested in an internship abroad in the USA.

Our team in New York arranges the required J-1 visa for practical trainings in the U.S. and offers additional services such as internship placements with U.S. companies and organisations. Each practical training is individually tailored to the participant's major field of study and career goals. In addition to technical and language skills, our participants also acquire important intercultural skills that are extremely valuable for their future professional development in the global job market.

In order to complete a practical training in the USA, every application needs an exchange organisation as a so-called "visa sponsor" according to the legal requirements of the U.S. government. Cultural Vistas has been officially recognised as such a visa sponsor by the U.S. Department of State for decades.

Briefly about us: Cultural Vistas oversees programmes such as the Parliamentary Sponsorship Programme for Young Professionals (PPP), the Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship, the International Visitor Leadership Program and many other programmes related to practical experience abroad. We are also officially recognised on the German side as an "exchange organisation" by the ZAV of the Federal Employment Agency. Our headquarters are in New York; since 2013 we are now also represented in Berlin.

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:

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.
