What Are VET Internships 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 VET Internship Programs. VET internships in Denmark are short, supervised work placements in real companies for vocational students, funded under Erasmus+ KA1 (KA121 / KA122). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Denmark: we source and vet host companies in design & innovation, sustainability & green tech, technology and business & administration, 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.

Who This Program Is For
Vocational secondary schools
Mid-volume VET intakes (groups of 8–20) to Denmark are anchored to regional partners in design & innovation, sustainability & green tech, technology — Piktalent stages arrivals across two intake windows per term to keep workplace mentoring intensive.
VET colleges & post-secondary providers
Mid-tier sending agencies use Denmark as a recurring secondary destination — Piktalent allocates 2–3 fixed cycles a year and pre-clears the design & innovation, sustainability & green tech, technology host pool by quarter so quality stays consistent across cohorts.
ErasmusPro long-term groups
3–12 month placements for advanced VET learners under ErasmusPro.
National Agencies & consortia
Pooled cohorts across multiple sending schools, managed under one operational lead.
What's Included
Every programme includes comprehensive services managed end-to-end by Piktalent.
Sector-matched host companies
Across Denmark's design & innovation corridor anchored in Copenhagen, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Companies in design & innovation, sustainability & green tech, technology vetted for workplace safety, mentoring capacity and Erasmus+ compliance.
Inspected accommodation
Coordinators based in Copenhagen, Denmark make this concrete for every design & innovation cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Student residences or shared apartments near the workplace, with move-in instructions sent before departure.
Insurance & liability coverage
In Denmark this stage flows through our Copenhagen regional team covering design & innovation hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Travel, medical and civil-liability insurance for the full mobility period.
24/7 in-country support
Built around Denmark's design & innovation host expectations from Copenhagen outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. A dedicated coordinator in Denmark plus a 24/7 emergency line throughout the placement.
