Abstract

Using an online questionnaire, we examined the self-reported benefits and satisfaction with Erasmus + mobility of intermediate and higher technical students who participated in internships abroad under the Erasmus + programme. During the academic year 2021–2022, the Sancti Petri Secondary School (San Fernando, Cádiz, Spain) has implemented some Erasmus + mobility projects both in higher education and vocational education and training. Within the context of these projects, 13 students have completed traineeships of less than three months in different companies in several European countries. Identifying the effects and satisfaction levels of students attending Erasmus + mobility is of critical importance to correct and improve these projects. The students who took part in an Erasmus + mobility strongly believed that this experience improved their foreign language skills and enhanced their intercultural understanding. Overall, they considered that the experience was positive, made them mature on a personal level, improved their professional skills, and provided more opportunities to get a job in the future. Finally, 100% of our students would repeat the Erasmus + mobility and 100% of the students would recommend this experience to their friends. Therefore, Erasmus + mobility for traineeships seems to be satisfactory and has a very positive impact on Sancti Petri intermediate and higher technician students.

Research Contribution: Survey findings will help to assess the effectiveness of Erasmus + mobilities and to identify the main skills developed by students during their internships. The results of this study will contribute to the benefit of society given the important role that the Erasmus + programme currently plays at all levels of education.
