What is ERASMUS ?
The European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students (Erasmus) program has been changing the lives of many students for several years! It is an EU-funded program that organizes student exchanges to study, gain, train, and volunteer in Europe. Millions of students have participated in the program since its creation and the goal is to offer learning and cooperation opportunities to improve career prospects.
Here at Le Repertoire de Gaspard, we offer work and study options that fit in with the Erasmus scheme and have already helped many to enjoy their Erasmus experience in Paris. Furthermore, the bonus is that you get paid by us to work educating children in English AND study on top of your Erasmus funding!
Virginia Bastide, Head of Recruitment said:
“We can provide students with the necessary requirements for their Erasmus program abroad through our Early Years Childcare Diploma Program that runs from September to July each year. Additionally, for those who have graduated, there are work options in helping to educate children in English as well as an advanced study option in Early Years education.
With part-time and full-time work and study options, we strive to find the best option for each individual. It’s an amazing opportunity not to be missed. I would advise anyone considering this to opt for the school year from September to July to maximize their Erasmus experience.”
By offering both a study option of learning French as a foreign language and a recognized diploma known as the CAP Petite Enfance or Titre, students are well equipped to meet the objectives set out by Erasmus during their time in Paris.
Students can either study abroad as part of their degree or undertake a work placement for up to 12 months. They should always check with their university about the time allocated abroad, funding available, and any particular study requirements to achieve whilst abroad.
