Schools and other public organisations, private companies and even the third sector can offer traineeships to FORTHEM students. Students will receive a grant for their placement either through FORTHEM funding (short placements) or through an Erasmus+ placement grant (placements of at least 2 months). Students can include the traineeship into their studies as ECTS credits, depending on the home university.

These groups of students always need at least one external partner to their projects, so this is a good way for local organisations to work together with the students and for example create a thematic event together. The student-driven projects need to be connected with the topics of the .
