What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Croatia?
Croatia's stunning Adriatic coastline and strong tourism industry offer excellent Erasmus+ placements in hospitality and maritime sectors. Concrete reasons institutions choose Croatia for KA121 & KA122 Mobility & Internships. KA121 and KA122 are the Erasmus+ actions that fund group mobility for schools, VET providers and adult-education centres. KA121 supports accredited organisations with a multi-year plan; KA122 is the short-term flow for non-accredited senders. Both fund student internships and staff training (including job shadowing). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Croatia: we source hosts in tourism & hospitality, maritime & logistics and business & tech, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

Host sourcing
Coordinators based in Zagreb, Croatia make this concrete for every tourism & hospitality cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Companies in tourism & hospitality, maritime & logistics, business & tech matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
In Croatia this stage flows through our Zagreb regional team covering tourism & hospitality hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Croatia.
Insurance & liability
Built around Croatia's tourism & hospitality host expectations from Zagreb outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
Within Croatia's tourism & hospitality network around Zagreb, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Mapped to how Croatia employers in tourism & hospitality — from Zagreb onward — actually onboard interns, not to a one-size-fits-all checklist. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
