The Trainee Status generally follows the status of the youngsters in vocational training in Portugal.
Scholarship:
Each trainee is entitled to a monthly allowance of approximately €1 3045,10 (paid up to the 8th working day of the following month). This amount is to cover accommodation, food and transportation. Therefore, we highly
recommend trainees to bring some extra money to deal with the first month’s daily expenses (including
accommodation). Each month the grant will be transferred to the bank account that trainees will open
in Azores.
* The grant amount is indexed to the cost of living in the country of destination.
Accommodation:
The accommodation will be booked by the program (more information at the acceptance declaration) or by
the trainee. Depending on the type of accommodation, the cost can vary from 250 euros to 600 euros per
month. The owner can claim a rental guarantee equivalent to 2 months of rent.
Language training:
The language course includes 80 hours of Portuguese classes and 20 hours dedicated to the cultural program.
Each participant is entitled to a certificate.
Cultural and social activities:
Will be organized 2 cultural visits to touristic sites of the island of São Miguel.
Required documentation:
European Health Insurance Card and/or private insurance; Copy of National Identification Card or Passport
(valid document); Copy of the certificate of studies; Medical certificate.
Other:
Applicants for the tourism sector must master the English language and may have to make proof of their
skills, through the filling of the application form/CV in English or through the sending of a cover letter also
in English, or even in telephone interviews.
During the traineeship:
Absences by trainees are assessed in terms of subordinate labour relations and result in the proportional loss of the allowance.
The occurrence of more than three consecutive or five interpolated unjustified absences by the trainee unjustified absences, that is, in excess of three in a row or five in between will result in the termination of the traineeship contract.
