When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

work experience placement
Assuming, in the absence of meaningful context, that the target readership is UK-based (or equivalent), then the usual jargon for 'stage' is 'work experience placement', as in the following webrefs:

certify that XX undertook a traineeship
I agree with internship for the US and work placement for the UK but if the text is aimed at neither, or both, then these terms might be more appropriate.

On second thoughts, if there is no time period specified then it might be better to use the present perfect: XX has undertaken
