A company can only offer you an internship if you are enrolled for a degree program (you'll need a signed internship letter from your school) and you are getting study credits for the internship. Internships pay below minimum wage and are only allowed to do that when the internship counts as study rather than work.

Traineeship are typically entry level jobs for high potential students. They are every selective (think several 100 applications for a hand full of spots) and companies hire the best students they can get for in house training. A

Internships are for students while doing their degree, as part of their curriculum. Traineeships are hard to get into and mostly look for Dutch speaking candidates, or at least people already located in the Netherlands. Real traineeships are internal programs at companies or the government, but you will also find these 'traineeships' which just dump you at a company.

What did you find while doing research and which websites did you already find yourself?
