Abstract

The Erasmus program was born at the end of the 80's as a proposal for life, leisure, work and training exchange among European students. This article analyzes the impact of Erasmus+ internships on Spanish students of intermediate and higher vocational training in national centers, as well as in Portugal and Italy. The methodology used in this study is mixed. Quantitative (pretest and posttest questionnaires to students) and qualitative data collection instruments have been developed. The results show that among the advantages of the implementation of FCT (workplace training) within the Erasmus+ program are the high motivation of the students, the improvement in their personality traits, increased employability, adaptability competence and also the increase in the ability to communicate in other languages. © Journal of International Students.
