What Is Job Shadowing in Denmark?
Denmark's innovation-driven economy and world-class sustainability practices offer exceptional Erasmus+ placements in design, green tech, and business. Concrete reasons institutions choose Denmark for Job Shadowing & Internship Hosting. Job shadowing in Denmark is a structured Erasmus+ KA1 staff-mobility format where teachers, trainers or administrative staff observe peers at a host organisation in Denmark. It is typically 3 to 14 days. Piktalent acts as the local intermediary: we match staff with institutional hosts in design & innovation, sustainability & green tech, technology and business & administration, brief the host on the observation focus, organise accommodation and insurance, and provide on-the-ground support. We also host your students for internships, so a single contract covers both your staff and learner flows.
