What Are VET Internships in Czech Republic?
The Czech Republic's central location, strong engineering base, and vibrant capital Prague offer diverse Erasmus+ placements at affordable costs. Concrete reasons institutions choose Czech Republic for VET Internship Programs. VET internships in Czech Republic are short, supervised work placements in real companies for vocational students, funded under Erasmus+ KA1 (KA121 / KA122). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Czech Republic: we source and vet host companies in it & technology, engineering & manufacturing and business services, arrange safe accommodation near the workplace, run the airport pickup and induction, and provide a 24/7 in-country support line throughout the placement. Each cohort closes with Europass Mobility certificates and ECVET-aligned host evaluations for the sending school.
