With Erasmus+ training opportunities are available to staff working in education, both in teaching and non-teaching capacities.

Erasmus+ Key Action 1 – Learning Mobility of Individuals provides opportunities for higher education academic and nonacademic staff to engage in professional development activities abroad. It also allows professionals from various fields to teach and train students or staff at higher education institutions. These opportunities can include teaching assignments or training experience, such as job shadowing, observation periods, or participation in training courses.

To ensure high-quality mobility activities with maximum impact, the mobility activity must be related to the staff’s profession and address their learning and personal development needs.

A teaching mobility lasts from 2 days to 2 months (programme countries) or a minimum of 5 days (partner countries) and the teacher commits to a minimum of 8 teaching hours per week.
