Dear Sir Or Madam s2

Letter to the mentor

Dear Sir or Madam, we are pleased to inform you that one of our Erasmus grant recipients will soon start a traineeship in your organisation. Our EU funding programme for transnational quality traineeships supports students aiming to gain professional experience in an international work environment. Enterprises like yours can benefit with highly educated trainees who provide knowledge of their own culture, foreign language skills and fresh expertise from their study subject.

Our Erasmus network, with 11 German Universities among its 12 partners, provides trainees with a grant for their full training period. In order to meet the Erasmus requirements the students need to follow some guidelines and formalities, for some of them we kindly ask for your support.

In the following page you will find the stages of the Erasmus grant process. This information aims to make the internship a valuable experience for you and the trainee.

We appreciate you taking the time to read through the attached information. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Carina Dingeldein Coordinator Erasmus Placements (www.eu-placements.de) [email protected] Regional Contact Point for EU-Placements and University-Business Cooperation c/o inter.research Institute of Interdisciplinary Research e.V. Heinrich-von-Bibra-Platz 1b D-36037 Fulda, Germany
