What are typical working hours in a VET internship in Portugal?

6 hours a day, Monday to Friday (30 hours a week), with a lunch break. Internships are part of the participant's training and are not paid.

Direct answer: in BragaMob placements in Braga, Portugal participants work 6 hours a day, Monday to Friday (30 hours a week), with a lunch break.

• The exact timetable is agreed with each host company and written into the Learning Agreement.
• The working language is English; participants pick up basic Portuguese during the stay.
• The method is practical: real cases from the company, simulations and hands-on work with its equipment, starting with the company culture and moving on to more complex tasks with more responsibility.
• Cultural integration activities take place at the weekend, without interrupting the placement.
• On the last day the company tutor runs a theoretical and practical assessment, recorded for the Europass Mobility and the Certificate of Attendance.
• Internships are part of the participant's training and are not paid.
• If a placement does not match what was agreed, the tutor speaks with the participant and with BragaMob first; if it still does not fit, BragaMob arranges a different one.
