At the Centro Europeu de Línguas (CEL), we have been coordinating international mobility projects, particularly under the Erasmus+ programme, since 1996.
Through our programmes, hundreds of young Portuguese professionals have had the opportunity to undertake work placements and gain professional experience in various European countries.
Over the years, we have promoted around 19 mobility projects under the Leonardo da Vinci and Erasmus+ programmes, including:
Key Action 1 – Individual Mobility for Learning Purposes offers participants unique opportunities to:
Through these projects, we offer professional work placements for recent graduates, enhancing their acquisition and application of knowledge, skills, and qualifications, to support personal development, employability, and participation in the European job market.
You can only participate if you are a student at an organisation with an approved Erasmus+ project.
If you are a student at the European Language Centre and would like to take part in an Erasmus+ project, follow these steps:
Participants will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
Curriculum Assessment (40%): We will consider factors such as your academic qualifications, foreign language skills, professional training and experience, and the coherence of your academic and professional path.
Personal Interview (60%): We will assess qualities such as motivation, responsibility, autonomy, adaptability, and other relevant personal traits.
The final score will be expressed on a scale of 0 to 20. Only candidates with a final score of 10 or above will be selected.
Selected participants in the Erasmus+ projects will receive diplomas and certificates validated by the host organisations, recognised as part of European Certification and lifelong learning. Additionally, all participants will receive the Europass Mobility document, which records the skills acquired during the project.
Note: The number of places is limited, depending on the approved funding. For more information, contact our European Mobility Office at infocel@cel.pt.
