Where to search, and how to shortlist a provider that can actually deliver.
Most schools find an Erasmus+ VET internship provider in Portugal through the EPALE partner search platform, their own National Agency's partner database, or recommendations from other schools already working with a given provider. Direct recommendations tend to be the most trustworthy source, since they reflect real delivery rather than a self-written listing.

How many years have you been hosting VET students? Which sectors can you realistically place students in? What's included in your programme — accommodation, transfers, monitoring — and what isn't? Can you put me in touch with a school you've worked with before? Clear, specific answers to these questions say more than any marketing description.
